What are the English lyrics for Alice human sacrifice?
In some place, was a dream
Who dreamt it, was unknown
Such a truly Tiny dream it was,
The little dream thought,
I don't want to disappear like this,
How can I make people dream me?
The little dream thought and thought,
And finally came up with something.
"I I allow people to stray into me,
They can make my world!"
The first Alice was a wrathful woman of the spade
And righteously she held a sharpened blade within her hand
Never hesitating to slay those within her way
Creating paths of blood that followed her through Wonderland
Deep into the darkened forest Alice walked the line
Captured and imprisoned as embodiment of Sin
If not for the murderous wake she left behind
No one would have suspected that she had ever been
The second Alice was a fragile man of the diamond
The broken echo of the lies within demented words
He sang his twisted melodies to all on Wonderland
Creating the image of the sick and the disturbed
Deadly yet so beautiful, a voice just like a rose
Was shot by a madman who silenced him to death
A single rose bloomed in his place with no music composed
With twisted smile this dying man lay breathing his last breath
The third Alice was an innocent young girl of club
An enchanting graceful figure in the world of Wonderland
She charmed the people in the land to every beck and call
A peculiar country answering to her command
So she rose into the throne to be the country's queen
Consumed by paranoia of her own impending death
Soon the queen succumbed to a dark and nightmarish dream
Disguised in kindness, loathing fate, she secured her regime
As this passed
Two children walked through the woods
Partaking in tea underneath the trees
They'd never part
They found an invitation to the Queen
It was the Ace of Hearts!
The fourth Alice was a duo of curiosity
Both were lost and could not find the boat where they began
And so they ran through countless open doors so recklessly
A brother and a sister running round through Wonderland
A stubborn elder sister
A witty younger brother
But they had strayed too far into Alice's Wonderland
They were never woken from their terrifying dream
Forever doomed to wander this twisted fairytale
Some parts of it might be wrong or different from other versions but this is the interpretation I think fits the best. Hope this helps you!
Are Aztec pyramids three or four sided?
King Tut did not have a pyramid. By the time he came along pyramids had been abandoned as a funerary ritual and pharohs were being buried in hidden chambers in the Valley of the Kings. His tomb was found substantially in tact. In fact, his is the only tomb yet discovered in the valley of the kings that had not been looted. All other pharonic tombs are been looted in antiquity and we can only surmise what treasures might have been buried with them.
It was a city of more than 200,000 people around 1519 AD, founded by the Aztec empire in 1325. It was scattered between several islands on the Lake Texcoco and most islands were joined together by large stone bridges.
The largest island had an approximate area of 13.5 square kilometers (5.2 sq mi) and contained most public structures, such as the Main Temple, the Tlatelolco Market and the Calmecac(school for the children of Aztec nobility, for religious and military training). It was traversed by several canals, so that goods and people could be transported via canoe. Nowadays, it would be seen as the pre-Columbian version of Venice, Italy.
Most public structures were made of stone and were quite tall for the age; for instance the Main Temple measured some 80 by 100 meters (262 x 328 ft) and had a height of approximately 30 meters (98 ft). Commoners usually lived on the outskirts of the city, either on smaller islands or on the shores of the Texcoco. Water was brought in via two terracotta aqueducts from the western hills of the valley.
