lyrics

Through a gateway bloodstained
Along a path of broken bones
There is no moon to light the way
To a place of unholy worship

Every tree
Decrepit and rotting as we
Our skin colder than the wind
Our eyes darker than the night

Staunch the light from the candles
Only memory illuminates the dead
Unleash the fresh flow of blood
And kneel to kiss the goat's head

Smell the rancid
Fragrance of copper on the air
Shadows dance
And flames grow high around the altar

Exalt the mind
From the earthly body
Soil- and light-born chains
Fall away, burn away

We bastards of a newly christened
Father of lies
Reach forth, devour the fruit
Claim our birthright

And the portal is opened
Into the realm of the dead
A paradise of wisdom in death
Where we shall roam, henceforth

We bastards of a newly christened
Father of lies
Reach forth, devour the fruit
Claim our birthright
Hava's work is never finished
I've left the cradle to learn to stand
I walk with horns high amongst humble sheep
And they know me as a free ram
