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   The mornings just a moment away      Your body glistens in candlelight   As we all look on in fiendish delight   The ritual is just beginning      Come fulfill the prophecy   With our demons of debauchery   As virgins and spectress 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 at the altar      Your Aztec eyes, Egyptian hair   Your beauty bestowed 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      You are my offering   Your soul transcends the centuries of pain   Your misery in life   Is your ecstasy in      Come fulfill the prophecy   With our demons of debauchery   This madness will never cease
