Clouds pass over the moon 

Like an eye that shows impending doom 

Tension in this misty air 

Souls pass into the room 

Drawn in by a lost memory 

You will join them in the moonlight 



You are my offering 

Your soul transcends 

The centuries of pain 

Your misery in life 

Is your ecstasy in death 



Time passes like the wind 

As we race to beat days dusky grin 

Mornings just a moment away 

Your body glistens in candlelight 

As we all look on in fiendish delight 

The ritual is just beginning 



Come full fill the prophecy 

With our demons of debauchery 

As virgins and spectres sing 

This madness will never cease 



In the dead of night 

You will follow 

In the footsteps of many others 

Who have come before 

I will show you the altar 

Your aztec eyes, egyptian hair 

Your beauty bestoved upon my lair 

I've loved you before, in other lives 

But you've never meant as much to me 

Never meant as much to me as now 



In this night of sacrifice 

where blood is spilt 

That will never spill again 

But in your linen robes 

We want you now 

We want you now 

You could never ask for more than that 



You are my offering 

Your soul transcends 

The centuries of pain 

Your misery in life 

Is your ecstasy in 

Come full fill the prophecy 

With our demons of debauchery 

This madness will never cease
