The Ritual (Album Mix) Lyrics

As the sky turns black

I cast the spell

No turning back

From the gates of hell

Something beyond is burning from the black within

It beckons, calls me closer so I can begin

Speaking these sacred words, this is the fate I choose

The hand of evil reaches out to seal my doom

Begin the ancient ritual

Summon the will of fire

Unleash the wrath of evil

Before the beast, you'll die

Death lingers in the air

My blood runs cold

It's haunting deep red stare

Burns through my soul

Descending from the blackened fray the beast reveals

Such hellish glory so much so I'm frozen still

Before I try to run the beast thwarts my escape

It clutches at my throat as I become its prey

Answer the ancient ritual

Stare into Satan's eyes

There Is no one to save you

You're running out of time

Blood dripping from the teeth of the undying nightmare

Bones break beneath the feet of all the insane

Bear witness to the living dead monstrosity

Terror tantalizing all the hope that remains

Beneath the hollow earth a pit of death opens wide

Ten thousand corpses line the path to the unholy grave

Deep within the void a hallowed victim outcries

Wretched are the souls so far from where they came

Within my fractured conscience I know I can lock away

The spirits of eternity from this hell I've created

Summoning within the depths of will I find the key

To get me back to my own reality

Open the portal between the black and light

Shut out the spirits that emerge from dead of night

Empowered by the mysticism of my mind

I prepare to face the black god in all of its might

Bow to the ancient ritual

Banished to where you came

Consumed by all your evil

In hell you shall remain
