Black Mass
Ritual of Shadows: Embracing the Abyss with Requiem of Malediction
Lyrics
I come to thee
I approach you
Driven forth by the darkest greed
Compelled by intense and dark desire
May it be the moon eternal
May it symbolize eternal darkness or evil
Witness the liturgy of the night
Observe the ritual of the night
Open the gates
Open the gates of access
Let me dwell in your halls
Allow me to reside in your sacred spaces
Infernal raw winds
Powerful and hellish winds
Shall guide me through the path
Will guide me through the forbidden journey
Nocturnal beings
Creatures of the night
Shroud me in ceremonial mist
Envelop me in ceremonial mist
I bow upon the altar
I bow before the altar in reverence
For the oath to the dark
In fulfillment of a dark oath
Oh Satan
An invocation to Satan
Grant me that which my soul seeks
Grant me my soul's desires
Perpetual reign
Long-lasting dominion or control
Oh Satan
An invocation to Satan (repeated)
Grant me that which my soul seeks
Grant me my soul's desires (repeated)
Immortal strength
Enduring strength or power
Raise the Chalice
Raise the ritualistic cup
Hold the dagger
Hold the sacrificial dagger
Pierce the flesh
Penetrate the flesh in a symbolic act
And carve the signs
Carve mystical signs
O Ave Satanas!
Oh Hail Satan!
