This song is amazing. But just so you know how cool it is, this is the original:


And taking a more artistic license:


This album by A Hill to Die Upon just came out today and I can't get enough of it. It's a Christmas album filled with songs like this. The name of the album is:
"The Black Nativity"

He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
In that palace in the sun

On the shore lay Montezuma
With his cocoa leaves and pearls
In his halls, he often wandered
With the secrets of the worlds

And his subjects gathered round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see

And the women all were beautiful
And the men stood straight and strong
They offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on

Hate was just a legend
And war was never known
The people worked together
And they lifted many stones

They carried them to the flatlands
And they died along the way
But they built up with their bare hands
What we still can’t build today

And I know she’s living there
And she loves me to this day
I still can’t remember when
Or how I lost my way

Cortez, Cortez
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer

Hate was just a legend
And war was never known

As semi nerd historian I think historians are to blame for these myths.
Aztecs were basically the equivalent of Romans. They were the most warlike of all Indians, and fought Cortez with 40 000 + armies. The problem was they were some said afraid of horses and Spaniards knew this so they often charged their formations on horse and single-handedly killed their generals. If their general got killed they lost the will to fight. Adding guns and armor, effectively few hundred Spaniard conquistadors defeated 1000s of them in battles.

They carried them to the flatlands
And they died along the way

Aztecs were great at building with stone, but so was any civilization before 1800s.
Stone and wood was all people knew. We lost this skill set to work with stone, ergo stone masonry, because we started using steel, and concrete.
Every old civ, had its own style of stone masonry.
Historians still speculate how Egyptians, Romans, or Greeks done it.
This is Roman wall no different from Aztec one.

That said the lyrics are nice.

Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay. Jeremiah 20:9

I have a soft spot for extremely dark and abrasive music. I can’t listen to it all the time but when I go through phases of it it’s very satisfying, like a soul purge. Had two excellent discoveries today:

What I’d like modern metal to sound more like:


One of the artistic luminaries of my generation:


Came across this a while ago, but probably my favourite black metal track of all time:


And why not throw this in as it’s a similar vibe and I came across it at a similar time:

These are the lyrics used since last year through the summer of this year. I assume they've remained the same this fall.

Oh the streets of Rome, they’re filled with rubble

Aged footprints are everywhere

You can almost think that you’re seeing double on a cold dark night by the Spanish stairs

Got to hurry on back to my hotel room

Gonna wash my clothes, scrape off all the grease

Gonna lock the doors and turn my back on the world

Gonna stay right there ’til I paint my masterpiece

Now the hours I’ve spent inside the coliseum, dodging lions with a mean and hungry look

Those mighty kings of the jungle, well I can hardly stand to see them

I can see them coming, I can read their faces like a book

Train wheels running through the back of my memory on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese

Someday everything’s gonna be beautiful when I paint my masterpiece

(Harp solo)

Sailin’ around the world full of crimson and clover

Sometimes I feel like my cup is running over

I landed in Rome, pulled into Brussels on a plane ride so bumpy that it made me ill

Clergymen in uniform, young girls with muscles. Everyone was there to meet me coming down the hill

Newspaper men eating candy, they had to be held back by big police

Someday everything's gonna be beautiful when I paint my… my masterpiece
