Lantern - From the Ruins lyrics

Hark! The storms' aeon-old chant in countless tongues summoned... Long... Have the vials lain dusting in thirst The blood they crave must flow... In this foul service in which to chant and kiss the goat For tonight the moon shall be in place, the vials brimmed with crimson fluids For tonight belongs to witches and incantations from the ruins By the meadow, oldest stones give radiance From a circle of black candles' gleam And in the circle swells a sea of voices d**hlike waves rising in consecration ...For the ones who roam endlessly ...For virgin blood to run free The glimmer of a curved dagger in for a k** Flashing at the virgin's face - in her eyes, d**h Hear... The liturgies now said Sealed and sanctified with d**h The chant becomes wilder, in heat they revel Ecstasy and lust burning for a spell The dagger raised skyward for a frenzied strike The maiden fair and pure stabbed like lowly swine Bleeding dry into vials Disemboweled... A d**h devout... And by dawn all marks lay gone But the winds bear in mind their songs In the gleam of fire that from the ruins stems forth In the otherworldly colour of their songs From the ruins blood has flown; Their offal lay carried on ...In regions beyond life Beyond d**h and mortal grasp Beyond future and past "From the ruins we call to thee!"
