Ritual of Blood

(Introduction)

In the eternal shadows, where the fire does not die

The whisper of gods echoes in the darkness

Steel gleams in the blade of sacrifice

And the earth hungers for blood in prayer

(Verse 1)

Under the darkened sky, the profane altar rises

Flesh and soul offered to the abyss sovereign

Chants of death echo in the cold night

Blood flows slowly, marking the liturgy

(Pre-Chorus)

Flames dance in the wind, revealing the fate

Pain becomes offering, in the cycle of the divine

A pact sealed by the blade of truth

Life fades away, in exchange for eternity

(Chorus)

Sacrifice to chaos, in the name of ascension

I give my flesh and heart to the abyss

The price is blood, glory is destruction

Ritual of blood, I proclaim the condemnation

(Verse 2)

The echo of the blade sings the end of flesh

On a pile of bones, the spirit doesn’t tarry

Muted cries, drowned in despair

The soul is the feast for the treacherous god

(Pre-Chorus)

The veil of reality tears in agony

Blood fertilizes the cold, dead earth

An eternal sacrifice, an impure offering

In the endless night, where light does not endure

(Chorus)

Sacrifice to chaos, in the name of ascension

I give my flesh and heart to the abyss

The price is blood, glory is destruction

Ritual of blood, I proclaim the condemnation

(Bridge)

The choir of ancients echoes in dark hymns

Flesh is stripped, bones become walls

The portal opens, the entity awakens

In exchange for the world, sanity becomes uncertain

(Guitar Solo - Brutal and Somber)

(Final Chorus)

Sacrifice to chaos, in the name of ascension

I give my flesh and heart to the abyss

The price is blood, glory is destruction

Ritual of blood, I proclaim the condemnation

(Outro)

In the ashes of sacrifice, power is reborn

But the price of the abyss, no one can foresee

Under the black mantle, the cycle begins anew

And the blood of the innocent is the currency the universe traverses.
