Heathen Rite

Upon this altar we bow
In moonlit grass poisoned earth
Forbidden fruit of ancient elm
Wicked pacts made behind unholy doors

Roots are gnarled
On Forest floors
Voices snarled
Heard within the wild moors

Bleeding eyes
Heathen rite
Viper's lies
As pagan souls take flight

Knot of clove
Wisp of thyme
In the grove
Chant and chime

Skin of old
Heart of young
Mind of sick
Song unsung

Blackened sun
Dying leaves
Darkness reigns
Goodness grieves

Circles forge
Flames ignite
Primal dance
Damned delight
