Dark Ritual

Blood seeps into the stone tonight
The altar reaps and darkness emerges
Let this chalice overflow
Drink it deep
This sin
Under cover of a moonlit night
In a clearing figures gather
Perform a chant to raise the dead
Bring about the end
Or a new beginning?

As the smoke starts to rise over the exhumed body
The smell of flesh and sulfur leaves you paralyzed
In secret, this dark ritual has begun

We call upon the three spirits
Grief, pain, and despair
Become our sacrifice
Reject life
Become our sacrifice
In shadows we rise
