Manilla Road Rites Of Blood
One night among the graves I found a sacred place Where blood of life still flows >From sacrificial blows Ah, hidden from light of sun Ah, the Rites have now begun Inside this sanctum Blood still feeds the gods Blasphemous Requiem The Rites of Blood I hid among the rocks And watched the Dance Macabre Upon the altar stone A young girl writhed and moaned Ah, with spikes made out of gold Ah, they nailed her to the stone Inside this sanctum Blood still feeds the gods Blasphemous Requiem The Rites of Blood Nothing sacred here In this place of fear Where the blood runs cold I could hear the cries As the virgin died Upon the stone The crimson stained altar began to glow As death turned into life The virgin tore away the spikes of gold Blood pouring from her eyes She ripped out every heart Tearing bodies apart The Accolites all dead She came to me and said Ah, I come from dust of earth Ah, to dust she did return Inside this sanctum Blood still feeds the gods Blasphemous Requiem The Rites of Blood
