THE WOUNDED KINGS LYRICS

1. The Cult Of Souls

Black moon rises
In the shadow of the sun
Black moon rising
In a sky that's turned to stone
Cold Dionysus...bleed for me
Reveal yourself and die for me
Dark moon rises...the ritual has begun

Call upon Dionysus
See the dead through your eyes
Kneel before Dionysus
Surrender yourself
To the Cult of Souls

Black moon rises
With the curse of second sight
Black moon rising
On the twilight of the gods
Cold Dionysus bleed for me
Reveal yourself and die for me
Dark moon rises the ritual has begun

Call upon Dionysus
See the dead through your eyes
Kneel before Dionysus
Surrender yourself
To the Cult of Souls

Here I am stood before you
From the ashes of the titans I have come

Spiritus Mundi
Through serpents eyes reborn

2. Gates Of Oblivion

The freezing dusk is closing in
Like a slow trap of steel
You feel your mind is cracking at the seams
In this frozen grip of hell

The skies are weeping blood
As the sirens slowly scream
The faces in the shadow
Stay hidden in my dreams

The black fog is rising again
Like a cold shroud of hate
The longing for salvation overwhelms your
broken soul
In the nine circles of hell

The skies are weeping blood
As the sirens slowly scream
The faces in the shadow
Stay hidden in my dreams

Desire for a world beyond this
Relinquish your soul to the black abyss

Desire for a world beyond this
Relinquish your soul to Lucifer's kiss

Desire for a world beyond this
Relinquish your soul to death's embrace

3. Return Of The Sorcerer

[Instrumental]

4. In The Chapel Of The Black Hand

It waits for me beyond the mist
The iron gates reach to the sky
An apparition in my dreams
A shining light draws me inside

Something lurks in the shadows
It lays in wait in this chapel
Something moves beyond my vision
an ancient evil in the darkness

Am I to be the sacrifice
the altar bathed in candlelight
A figure rises from the tomb
Its withered hand has sealed my doom

Evil surrounds you in the darkness
Evil awaits you in the shadows

The body is gone, but the head needs the soul
The heart no longer beats, but still you long for more
The body is gone, but the head needs the soul
The heart no longer beats, but still the blood it flows
