Rites Of Blood

<br>One night among the graves<br>I found a sacred place<br>Where blood of life still flows<br>>From sacrificial blows<br>Ah, hidden from light of sun<br>Ah, the Rites have now begun<br><br>Inside this sanctum<br>Blood still feeds the gods<br>Blasphemous Requiem<br>The Rites of Blood<br><br>I hid among the rocks<br>And watched the Dance Macabre<br>Upon the altar stone<br>A young girl writhed and moaned<br>Ah, with spikes made out of gold<br>Ah, they nailed her to the stone<br><br>Inside this sanctum<br>Blood still feeds the gods<br>Blasphemous Requiem<br>The Rites of Blood<br><br>Nothing sacred here<br>In this place of fear<br>Where the blood runs cold<br><br>I could hear the cries<br>As the virgin died<br>Upon the stone<br><br>The crimson stained altar began to glow<br>As death turned into life<br>The virgin tore away the spikes of gold<br>Blood pouring from her eyes<br><br>She ripped out every heart<br>Tearing bodies apart<br>The Accolites all dead<br>She came to me and said<br>Ah, I come from dust of earth<br>Ah, to dust she did return<br><br>Inside this sanctum<br>Blood still feeds the gods<br>Blasphemous Requiem<br>The Rites of Blood
