Ritual Of The Deer Lyrics

May I be bathed in your blood devotedly shed in my name

By my hands you meet your end

By your flesh I am made

Slow; the last dying breath of the old way

Ceremony in crisis

As the carcass wastes away

Ritual post haste

Sweat and dirt cast into gold

Graven smoke and mirrors sold

Final pact; exalted deceased

Blood of the heart I feast

All life inside, wring out joyously

Living for something else can really bleed you dry

When I die, divide my body

Apportion each piece until there's nothing

Ceremony in crisis

As the carcass wastes away

Do you give more than you take

Ritual post haste

Life dependent on death
