Human Sacrifice

Eye of the night
Look not on me
Take our gifts of
Flesh and blood

Root of creation
Eternity
Hear me
Take me
Through the fire

Spirit of the light
Dwell in me
Shield us from the
Tempest's ire

Keep us from sickness
Free of pain
Spare us from the
Ancient pyre

Procreation
Population
Obligation
God and nation

Copulation
Propagation
Generation
Degradation

Pride begets the tyrant
Monuments empower
Let the old gods cower
Under the new world order

Victim to its power
Await their last hour
Victim to its power
Brave your final hour

Behold
Here lies
The ruins of
The temple of a god
Who no longer receives
The love of man

Bravely step into the pyre
Where our weary souls retire
In the ashes
In the fire
Here is where our bones will lie

From the ashes
We will rise
Sacred smoke
Into the sky
Take my soothing sacrifice
To heaven where we meet again

Pride begets the tyrant
Monuments empower
Let the old gods cower
Under the new world order

Victim to its power
Await their last hour
Victim to its power
Brave your final hour
