Drinking the Blood of the Crucified One

Prologue

Sable wings descend on the faithful ground

Pallid moon draws the mourners around

A silent prayer where the lifeblood runs dry

We gather in shadow beneath the nailed sky

Bridge

Eclipsed by sorrow and ritual dread

Anointed in crimson, reborn from the dead

Temples tremble under sacred decree

Blood-stained redemption is all we will be

Intro

Shadows kneel by the altar, hearts trembling cold

torn veils reveal the covenant foretold

Fangs hungry for a promise thread in scars

hallowed thirst awakened beneath the stars

Verse 1

Sanctified silence shattered with cries

Redemption found in hollowed-out eyes

Blood offered up on a chalice of bone

Ash falls to ash on a petrified throne

Pre-Chorus

Ancient vow in darkness spoken

Banished light never returns

Chorus

Drink the blood from the wound wide open

Crimson flow from the throne forsaken

In silence we are broken

We drink the blood of the crucified one

Post-Chorus

Sacrifice consume devour

Chains of faith wither in fear

Verse 2

Beneath veils of incense and fire

Shadows swirl where choirs conspire

I lift the chalice, a crimson pyre

Tongues in terror, silent choir

Pre-Chorus

Oaths carved in ages of sorrow

The dawn blackened defiled

Drink, become hollow tomorrow

Transcend the flesh denied

Chorus

Drink the blood from the wound wide open

Crimson flow from the throne forsaken

In silence we are broken

We drink the blood of the crucified one

Post-Chorus

Sacrifice consume devour

Chains of faith wither in fear

Bridge 2

Splinters buried in trembling hands

desecrated silence throughout the lands

Fervor surges where martyrs have bled

Exiled from daylight, we feed on the dead

Chorus

Drink the blood from the wound wide open

Crimson flow from the throne forsaken

In silence we are broken

We drink the blood of the crucified one

Outro

Final shadows coil around the lost

The veil is torn, and faith is the cost

Blood stirs the ancient marrow in stone

We fade, redeemed, but forever alone

Outro

Final shadows coil around the lost

The veil is torn, and faith is the cost

Blood stirs the ancient marrow in stone

We fade, redeemed, but forever alone
