Bloodtide (XXX)

Wings of the night Has turned light into shadows And through the deep forest Only the mist prevails Carried forth by the whispering wind And in a glade of the deepest part of the forest The black pounding heart of a thousand peoples fears Thirteen figures perform the most obscure dance Around an altar of stone while the eye of Satan Beholds from its high seat in the starless sky Dark eyes stares with carnal bloodlust at the fettered virgins helpless struggle Claws and teeth shall desecrate the temple of her soul and pierce the night with her cries The sacred blood of god's creation flow As the eyes of the creatures woefully glow As gleaming red as the hair of the beasts Dreadful shadows plunges through the veils of the mist at their screaming prey Claws and teeth shall desecrate the temple of her soul and force her spirit beyond the gates Of black divinity The sacred blood of gods creation drips And run down the throats of the creatures who from open vein sips And the moon glows - as pale as the skin of the beasts Three crosses breaks her skin A soul for Satan to win Three crosses for the price of blood That so triumphantly brought death to the son of god Three crosses for the breed of Cain That throughout time in blood will reign Three crosses for the abomination from Nod Who so fiercely drank his brothers blood Three crosses for the brethren All praise the black deity So fearsome great and mighty Mark our spirits with thine blessing dark divine And through our eyes you Upon the forthcoming millennium The sacred blood of gods creation is gone And her soul is now in the hands of the horned one Who laughs as blood freezing as gaze in the eyes of the beasts Three crosses her skin A soul for Satan to win Three crosses That so triumphantly brought death to the son of god Three crosses That throughout time in blood will reign Three crosses who so fiercely drank his brothers blood Three crosses --- Bloodtide (XXX) - Marduk
