Lyrics
Like shades we walk through the cold mist of the night

Silently, holding our torches in hand
Quietly progressing with lit torches in hand.
In black robes we walk to the sacred ancient place

We are gathered here before the grey stone monument

As the burning stars align high in the night sky
Noting the alignment of burning stars in the night sky.
The swirling clouds uncover the rising comet
Clouds revealing a rising comet in the night.
Candle flames enlighten the altar of blood

We eat from the forbidden fruits (flesh of the gods)
