Blood and fire
Blood and fire
the prediction of the Maya.
I heard in my ear
that the end is near,
because it's this year.
The end is called Apocalypse,
and the chaos will invade the streets.
Blood and fire
the prediction of the Maya.
The end of all we know
is something completely unknown.
The Mayas predicted the end, God knows how.
This two thousand and twelve
is the end of the Earth.
