BLOOD CEREMONY LYRICS

1. Master Of Confusion

Agliostro sits in his vault of nepenthe
The bird woman waits with a mystical hen
A spell awakens the narcotic eye
Necromantic soldiers armed with crystal scythes

Worshippers have gathered under cover of dark
The sorceress is stroking her Aeolian harp
A magnus seeks alignment of stars
Coffin-shaped citadel a door to Mars

2. I'm Coming With You

They say these rites are dangerous
They say we are insane
I'm only here to help you
Fraternize with Cain
It's a black mass and i'm ready to go
The dagger has been stained
We'll call the demons you've dreamed about
And soar the cosmic plane

The magic cup is passing
From the high priest's learned hand
The enchanted one is sending
Magnetic thought commands
There's a circle forming in my mind
As we invoke the devil's name
The pentagram and the stars have aligned
The words that chill the brain

3. Into the Coven

The season of the witch is autumn long
Weird silence falls upon the throng
They smoke black drugs with Saturn's bong
And blast our mind with evil song
I see witches in the sky
Flying toward a Quaalude eye

Visions of light from the demons sun
Goat-headed serfs drink to this dawn
A strange vintage brewed in casks oblong
In a perfumed black mass with reptile gongs

4. A Wine Of Wizardry

5. Rare Lord

The universe is law
This much i know
Of wonders conjured 'neath the magical domes
Through spells of necromancy
He prays to the sign
The light of this king will dance in their minds

The universe is law
Its gyres will turn
As philtres born upon demon altars burn
Through spells of necromancy
Invading their minds
Armies of the night advance at his sign

6. Return to Forever

The master magician
Tunes a casket-shaped lung
In his ritual chamber
They pray to the dawn

Sipping cosmic nectar
Hearing Magus lecture

Now Astaroth's ship
Sets sail 'cross the skies
Through Saturn's yawning hail
And into the eye

Black magic rites profane
Wizards are oft to blame

7. Hop Toad

I once saw walking on my land
A witch with garland in her hand
When laid upon some mottled stone
It made the earth to shift and groan

Up from the stone rose a magic tree
With faeries dancing happily
When purple skies began to foam
Above this tree of human bone

Though some may swear they felt no fear
My soul went cold as she came near
A toad with speech,in her left hand
A familiar from undreamed lands

Little ones you can be gods
In the black between the stars

8. Children of the Future

Children of the future
Look no further
Than the burning sun yonder
Over Xanadu Rising

Children of the future, rise
Do what your love tells you to do

9. Hymn to Pan

If granted license, what would I say?
To gods who thrived in ancients days
Who've ruled the earth, the seas, the skies
Now they've gone, can anybody say why?

Those few who knew the brightest sun
Is fired with the light of devildom
To the crimson shrine, we'll find him there
Enter with noose and scarlet snare

Pan, come with pipes and wicked cards
With nymphs and satyrs for thy guards
Io Pan, through forest trees
Through blissful light, Pan, come to me!
