|
Clouds pass over the moon |
|
Like an eye that shows impending doom |
|
Tension in this misty air |
|
Souls pass into the room |
|
Drawn in by a lost memory |
|
You will join them in the moonlight |
|
You are my offering |
|
Your soul transcends |
|
The centuries of pain |
|
Your misery in life |
|
Is your ecstasy in death |
|
Time passes like the wind |
|
As we race to beat days dusky grin |
|
Mornings just a moment away |
|
Your body glistens in candlelight |
|
As we all look on in fiendish delight |
|
The ritual is just beginning |
|
Come fulfill the prophecy |
|
With our demons of debauchery |
|
As virgins and spectres sing |
|
This madness will never cease |
|
In the dead of night |
|
You will follow |
|
In the footsteps of many others |
|
Who have come before |
|
I will show you the altar |
|
Your Aztec eyes, Egyptian hair |
|
Your beauty bestowed upon my lair |
|
I've loved you before, in other lives |
|
But you've never meant as much to me |
|
Never meant as much to me as now |
|
In this night of sacrifice |
|
where blood is spilt |
|
That will never spill again |
|
But in your linen robes |
|
We want you now |
|
We want you now |
|
You could never ask for more than that |
|
You are my offering |
|
Your soul transcends |
|
The centuries of pain |
|
Your misery in life |
|
Is your ecstasy in |
|
Come fulfill the prophecy |
|
With our demons of debauchery |
|
This madness will never cease |
