My eyes wondered around this strange domain
The skies thundered, as I'm hit by cold rain
This whole place had a haunting aura
Even the environment had daunting flora
Echo's taunting me, as I glanced at a tombstone
Completly lost, wondering whether I was doomed though
Thought to who knows my location..I told no -one
Knowing that my destructive solitude left me alone...frozen
I wallowed in plight, scared that I'd been swallowed by night
Saw fires in the distance, I remembered to follow the light

Finally, tonight is our time, our hour has come/
Calmed my breathen, their chanting rose to a powerful hum/
A bitter wind cut, chilling our blood sodden robes/
Masks confronted my glare, my very soul's gotten cold/
Our circle tightens, knotted around the alter of stone/
Closer we gather, turning without faulter or moan/
Pyres burn, flames illuminate pale skin hidden by metal/
The fires flare up, shoot to stars then unbidden they settle/
The body on the tomb rises as silence cracks the air/
'Sacrifice' it utters in vocal chords of black dispair/
Suddenly a movement behind a gravestone to my right/
'Him' i command, the only figure alone in the night/

Confused, the hooded acolytes took me by force
I complied as there were too many to fight off
My thoughts darkened as the situation confronted me
Tears rolled down my face as I let out a stunted plea
Fell to my knee's in a sudden desperation
I kept them waiting, trying to check their patience
They just continued, dragging me as my face scraped the mud
I squirmed as I glanced at their leader, drapped in blood
I was done, they restricted my hands with rope
My face showed fear as I tried to yell, but my gland's just choked

The entity on the alter grinned as we beat our captive/
Teeth grind as it laughs 'Better meat..that lives'/
The prisioner's dragged towards the beast we've created/
'It needs blood' is stated, our priests have debated/
The rope was red on his wrists, blood splattered the ground/
Battered and bound, all the gravestones shattered around/
The beast strode up to the figure and drew back his neck/
Rivers of blood sprayed as the demon threw back his head/
Gorging on his mangled remains it looked up at the sky/
It snarled at me, then jumped, i screamed 'fuck' as i died/
