Blood on the Altar
(A chilling account of a sacrificial ritual)
[Intro]
The moonlight flickers through the trees,
A haunting wind carries whispered pleas.
Torches burn in a sacred ring,
The shadows dance, the demons sing.
[Verse 1]
In the heart of the forest, a circle is drawn,
A chant begins before the dawn.
Figures cloaked in robes of black,
The air grows cold; there's no turning back.
The blade is sharp, the chants grow loud,
The victim bound before the crowd.
The stars above refuse to shine,
As blood flows forth to seal the sign.
[Chorus]
Blood on the altar, a crimson tide,
A sacrifice to the dark divine.
The ancient gods, they heed the call,
A life surrendered, they claim it all.
Blood on the altar, the price is paid,
In shadows deep, the debt is laid.
A chilling rite, the silence breaks,
As hell itself begins to wake.
[Verse 2]
The flames rise high, the smoke turns black,
The heavens weep, but won't take it back.
A scream pierces through the night,
A soul delivered to the endless blight.
The earth trembles, the circle glows,
A rift appears where the darkness flows.
A hand emerges, clawed and red,
The Horned One rises, the pact is fed.
[Chorus]
Blood on the altar, a crimson tide,
A sacrifice to the dark divine.
The ancient gods, they heed the call,
A life surrendered, they claim it all.
Blood on the altar, the price is paid,
In shadows deep, the debt is laid.
A chilling rite, the silence breaks,
As hell itself begins to wake.
[Bridge]
Oh, the screams that echo still,
A life forsaken to the devil's will.
The coven bows, their heads held low,
The blood-soaked earth begins to glow.
The victim's eyes stare into space,
A frozen mask of fear's embrace.
The deal is struck, the ritual done,
A new reign rises with the darkened sun.
[Chorus]
Blood on the altar, a crimson tide,
A sacrifice to the dark divine.
The ancient gods, they heed the call,
A life surrendered, they claim it all.
Blood on the altar, the price is paid,
In shadows deep, the debt is laid.
A chilling rite, the silence breaks,
As hell itself begins to wake.
[Outro]
The torches fade, the forest sleeps,
But in its heart, the darkness keeps.
The altar stands, a grim reminder,
Of the blood-soaked pact that still binds her.
