lyrics
The burning incense fills the air
as censers swing from withered hands
Chanting long-forgotten hymns
from beyond all mortal lands
The chiming of unearthly bells
from behind the veil of reality
The call to summon those that dwell
in phantasmal infinity
Heed this call, grotesque beings of old
Manifest as enchantments unfold
Rites of the forgotten
Rites of the unseen
Rites that summon them to rise
Those of the macabre
Those of the obscene
Rise!
The gateway opens from the deep
as foretold in prophecy
The means to summon those that sleep
in divine immortality
From the altar drenched and wet with death
ascends the end of humankind
Whispered prayers under breath
as the deities break their binds
Claim this world, dreadful beings set free
Animated by this dark liturgy
When the moon is waning
and the stars are hidden
Then the hymns are chanted
from the scrolls forbidden
When the blood is streaming
And the seals are broken
Then the portal opens
and the gods are woken
Rituals of horror
Rituals of doom
Prophecies of godly rule
You of endless malice
You of endless gloom
Rise!
