The Ritual
Gather the bodies
Upon the pedestal
Beneath the tower
Below the ground
We chant as one: "Let there iron feed the flesh
Let there blood flow through our veins
Blackened organs bring us deliverance
And grant us eyes with which to see"
The planet begins to rupture
As the bodies melt to tar
Our heads expand from the pressure
As the rush of the universe grows
Excruciating fire behind my eyes
Black as my vision grows dim
A faint glow appears before us
The path to the world beyond I reach out my hand to touch it
And fall into the unknown
