Hey! Gold calls — hey! [Verse 1] Stone was cold before it shone Fire taught it how to glow From the dark we pulled the sun Bent the earth till gold was born [Verse 2] Not for crowns and not for thrones Gold is breath inside the bones Every shine a debt we owe To the blood that made it flow [Chorus] Gold of the feathered serpent rise Quetzalcoatl, ehecatl Spin the light before our eyes Cualli tonalli One, two — strike the ground Stamp the gold, hear the sound Gold of the feathered serpent shine We give life to keep the line [Verse 3] Hands are stained but hands are true What we take, we answer to Gold remembers every name Cut in fire, sealed in flame [Verse 4] Round we move, no step alone Gold beats like a living bone Not our wealth, not our crown It is the sun pulled underground [Chorus] Gold of the feathered serpent rise Quetzalcoatl, ehecatl Spin the light before our eyes Cualli tonalli One, two — strike the ground Stamp the gold, hear the sound Gold of the feathered serpent shine We give life to keep the line [Bridge – Ritual] Hey! Hey! Quetzalcoatl! Hey! Hey! Tonatiuh! Ah — hey! Ah — hey! Gold and blood — one truth! [Instrumental Solo] [Chorus] Gold of the feathered serpent rise Quetzalcoatl, ehecatl Spin the light before our eyes Cualli tonalli One, two — strike the ground Stamp the gold, hear the sound Gold of the feathered serpent shine We give life to keep the line [Final Chorus] Gold of the feathered serpent run Quetzalcoatl, cualli tonalli From the wound comes burning sun Ehecatl What we give is what remains Gold remembers blood and names Gold of the feathered serpent bright Worlds are paid in fire and light [Outro] Stamp — stamp — hey! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Children of the Fifth Sun explores the rise and burden of an ancient civilization — from gods and temples to gold, sacrifice, and cosmic duty.
