Ritual Descent - Saille

Cha-Chaac

Ages of drought

Call forth a necessity

Of death by water

Sacrifice to pleasure the raingod

Chaac

For thee, Cha-Chaac

I pledge my life

I accept my path

That runs down these slopes

Down the Holy Snake

To the sacrificial pit

Bolon Dzacab

As Hunac Ceel will jump from this spot one day

So will I

In attempt to please the gods

But unlike him

My life is forfeit

And for my people

My flame too will fade

Where others have fallen before their time

This cenote

My resting place

Bolon Dzacab

As I watch the water come closer

A smile on my face begins to form

And should I return

From woeful pond

I have received

Blessings scarcely given

For thee

Cha-Chaac

I pledge my life
