Yahualli

Yahualli
by
Tingster & The Coyotitos

[Intro]
“Inin yahualli… inin teotl… inin ome.”
"This is the circle… this is a nod… this is twofold."

[Verse 1 – Spoken in rhythm, low with a heartbeat drum behind]
The circle eats what it forgets
Carves old regrets in silicon nets
What once was stone is now a feed
But sacred hunger knows no breed

The sun was born, the sun was burned
We turned, and turned, and never learned
Each war, a dance. Each peace, a play.
Each end — a loop that just... replays

[Pre-Chorus]
“What was… will be—
Unless we break the ring.”

[Chorus]
Yahualli — draw the line in blood and bone
The past will reign if left alone
Yahualli — the serpent eats, the dancer spins
A circle forged from hidden sins

Break the loop. Or feed the flame.
The face may change — the mask’s the same.

[Verse 2]
We praised the screen, we blamed the stone
But every ghost was once our own
We swore we'd rise, we swore we'd burn
But kept the wheel — and watched it turn

You drew a circle 'round your name
You built a temple out of shame
Now every prayer you try to sing
Just loops… and loops… and loops again

[Bridge]
Spoken:
“I’ve seen this city fall before—
Different tongue. Same war.”
“Same pride. Same gods.
Same door.”

[Chorus]
Yahualli — the script’s recast, the code’s the same
Another empire, same old game
Yahualli — the wheels hum, the gods repeat
We change the words, but not our feet

Break the ring. Or spin and drown.
The serpent laughs… beneath the crown.

[Outro]
“Yahualli…
What was, will be…
Unless…”

“…you choose to flee the circle.”
