Upon the Altar

You dreamed of power You lusted for fame But you are merely A pawn in our game Ooh yeah, you reached out To the Hidden Hand Playing with forces You can't understand We are thirteen And gathered here as if within a dream You are the one The vessel for our black communion Upon the altar We will deliver to the devil a daughter Before the altar We come together, singing Ave Satana' Ave! You have been chosen We summoned you here Ah, don't be frightened There's nothing to fear High Priestess calls you She bids you disrobe You lie on cold stone Shrouded in smoke And now it begins Black tallow melts upon your trembling skin An ancient rite Performed before the very dawn of time Upon the altar We will deliver to the devil a daughter Before the altar We come together, singing Ave Satana' Astaroth O Duke of Eternal Night Behemoth Arch-devil of Black Delights Belphegor Lord of All Blasphemy Hail to thee Thy Satanic Majesty Upon the altar We will deliver to the devil a daughter Before the altar We come together, singing Ave Satana' Ave! --- Upon the Altar - Green Lung
