Manilla Road - Rites Of Blood Lyrics
One night among the gravesI found a sacred placeWhere blood of life still flowsFrom sacrificial blowsAh, hidden from light of sunAh, the Rites have now begunInside this sanctumBlood still feeds the godsBlasphemous RequiemThe Rites of BloodI hid among the rocksAnd watched the Dance MacabreUpon the altar stoneA young girl writhed and moanedAh, with spikes made out of goldAh, they nailed her to the stoneInside this sanctumBlood still feeds the godsBlasphemous RequiemThe Rites of BloodNothing sacred hereIn this place of fearWhere the blood runs coldI could hear the criesAs the virgin diedUpon the stoneThe crimson stained altar began to glowAs death turned into lifeThe virgin tore away the spikes of goldBlood pouring from her eyesShe ripped out every heartTearing bodies apartThe Accolites all deadShe came to me and saidAh, I come from dust of earthAh, to dust she did returnInside this sanctumBlood still feeds the godsBlasphemous RequiemThe Rites of Blood
