Written in blood

(Let it be)

Written in blood

On the darkest of nights

In a chamber of stone

Gather's round a black altar

Leiden with bone

A group of men robed

Watch with bright eyes

as a beautiful woman

let's out her last cries

As the woman in bondage

is shackled to stone

the men's faces gleam

and she lets out a groan

And from the shadows

A figure steps forth

Bearing a dagger

And a life ends henceforth

Written in blood

infernal vocations

an unholy display

of profane incantations

let it be written in blood!

Blood smeared on the altar

is left to conceal

and the men draped in darkness

go down and kneel

another gift given

and more to come soon

The men ready for hunting

Neath the red moon

Torches die down

And all fades from light

and the men once again

embrace the night

They step through the darkness

Over grass and through mud

Their fates shall they follow

as it's written in blood

Let no man feel safety

For all can be found

Torn from their sanctum

To altar then bound

Remember these words

and remember them well

Treasure your daylight

for at night you're in hell

When the night sky is barren

save for a red moon

no man is immortal

That shall be known soon

So close all your windows

and lock all your doors

Though that shall not save you

from the nights horrors
