Aztec Death

An Aztec pyramid
steps leading to the sky
all who walk up those steps
know how it is to die

the blood running down
the slick red steps
every footfall
brings you closer to death

and i am on those steps
leading to the sky
so close to death
and i begin to cry

there are others around me
unable to run
fear, like an animal, holds hearts
but fear has just begun

a funeral procession
moving to a beat
until the reach the top
death clawing at them, head to feet

and the blood is running all around
every nerve is taught
an animal in a trap
forever caught

the closer to the top we get
the more the blood runs thick
and louder becomes the knife
more audible the exicutioner's click

the sky is so blue
so pure and clean
until i reach the top
by my eyes, this is the last thing that will be seen

pushed down on the hard stone
neck quickley exposed
suddenly fear is rising
adreniline has rose

heartbeat flying
wondering when
how fast is it coming
this terrible end

hot tears stain my cheeks
and i am crying out
my voice thick with fear
as i continue to shout

but there is nobody to save me
nobody around
this is where my battle ends
bleeding out onto the ground

the knife bites deep into my kneck
and around the world goes black
nothing left for me to fight with
nobody left to attack

and my blood joins the rest
as it flows down the steps
a sacrifice to a blood-thirsty god
the god of the Aztecs

~ this is a dream i had about a year ago. and i am unable to put into words the horror it still causes me to the day. a little background history:
the aztecs made human sacrifices to "appease the gods" most often, these ceremonies were held on the top of a stepped pyramid.
