so it has become
ever clear in a jaded lifetime
he is the chosen one
body pure and never poisoned
the ritual's begun
brought to life in the horrid forthright
sharpened sense tonight
bless the steel for the ceremony's knell
he is brought to another world
where the fearless lie
venture slow
the bleak will always fade
shadows grin all around the fright
many tortured souls
alive in the wasteland of his mind
before her, he kneels
embrace the call for now he can't deny her
with their lives, the gifts come one by one
ritual from hell to bring him higher
lurking death behind the howling cries
the morbid yearning
for a glimpse now falls
through the guidance of time
cold stare bereaves within the mad beast
not one survivor for her to gain
precision cutting with a choir
and taste the flesh to ease the pain
hold the violent rage
with bleeding hands
for the merciful one
and all the glories will
shine for evermore
open the sky, blood rains down
scent of burning flesh
scent of burning flesh
the god of ruin has claimed the essence
pure in lust divine
pure in lust divine
stalking power for the satisfied
calling out her name
angel of the night of dark deception
the devil's haunting for a cruel heart
cold stare bereaves within the mad beast
not one survivor for her to gain
precision cutting with a choir
and taste the flesh to ease the pain
hold the violent rage
with bleeding hands
for the merciful one
and all the glories will
shine for evermore
open the sky, blood rains down
scent of burning flesh
scent of burning flesh
the god of ruin has claimed the essence
pure in lust divine
pure in lust divine
stalking power for the satisfied
calling out her name
angel of the night of dark deception
the devil's haunting for a cruel heart
