Final Ritual

Lyrics

[Intro] Long have I waited, and long have I lain here alone Cold and starving in the dark Moment by moment I'm drifting closer To the land of the dead [Verse 1] An incessant noise echoes in my skull It twines and vibrates down my spine Fanning out raw endings of my nerves The noise grows louder, its source looming closer In a tightening spiral The center cannot hold, things fall apart Takes all the strength just to open my eyes [Pre-Chorus] Is this really what dying feels like? [Chorus] Ritual begins when the moon are at crest I call for the ancients to guide me through the gates Silver-moon white blade, so cold against my skin Warm crimson blood glistening in the dark [Verse 2] I am sealed in my own tomb, nine days of fast The ritual will begin, so long and painful it will be And most likely I will not come out alive But I made up my mind There is no turning back now The utter destruction of light The end of my life [Chorus] Ritual begins when the moon are at crest I call for the ancients to guide me through the gates Silver-moon white blade, so cold against my skin Warm crimson blood glistening in the dark I have formed my intentions The shadows gather, thickening in the air I submit myself to the darkness And I throw myself into the abyss [Bridge] Ritual begins [Pre-Chorus] Is this really what dying feels like? [Chorus] Ritual begins when the moon are at crest I call for the ancients to guide me through the gates Silver-moon white blade, so cold against my skin Warm crimson blood glistening in the dark I have formed my intentions The shadows gather, thickening in the air I submit myself to the darkness And I throw myself into the abyss [Outro] I offer thee my flesh and blood Guide me through the gates Grant to me eternal life The ultimate sacrifice Sacrifice!
