Caught up in the daily grind.
Hard to find some peace of mind 'round here lately.
Try to escape the beaten path.
Don't need the wrath of the world.
It just drives me crazy ooh crazy.
... Need something to look forward to alone with you.
I still get lost in you baby.
It's always you baby.
Desire that comes together like primitive animals.
We've got something sacred.
You've become my ritual.
Our spirits feed each other.
We never get our fill.
Hungry for your sweet religion.
You've become my ritual.
When I'm with you all time stands still.
I find the will and pressure just doesn't phase me.
You more than take my breath away.
You captivate... we levitate... you amaze me.
Ooh baby
Desire that comes together like primitive animals.
We've got something sacred.
You've become my ritual.
Our spirits feed each other.
We never get our fill.
Hungry for your sweet religion.
You've become my ritual.
My ritual
I want you baby.
Celebrate the love we found.
You make my world go round.
In your arms where I belong.
Make sweet love all night long.
All night long.
You're all I see.
Heaven's here with me.
In this time alone.
Set my spirit free.
Free
Desire that comes together like primitive animals.
We've got something sacred.
You've become my ritual.
Our spirits feed each other.
We never get our fill.
Hungry for your sweet religion.
You've become my ritual.

I'm your new religion
Penetrate your mind
Focus on your weakness
Victimize your kind
You can call me father
And I can ease your pain
Giving me your deadly sins
And take my name in vein
It's a ritual
I say, it's a ritual
I can take you higher
And we'll soar above the land
Trust in me, I am the savior
Take my hand
Ruler of temptation
I'll satisfy your need
Supply you with the poison
The hell on which you feed

Make a wish in a water fly

I only hope that it'll last forever
I know that it's now or never
Hey yeah, don't you know me

No word and I send relation

You were lost inside my dream
I can't touch you but I know that you believe
You were lost inside, lost inside my dream
Lost within my dream, yeah

Trust your heart I will make you cry
I only hope that it'll last forever
I know that it's now or never
Hey yeah, don't you know me
Hey yeah, why don't you show me

You were lost inside my dream
I can't touch you but I know that you believe
You were lost inside, lost inside my dream
Lost inside my dream, lost inside my dream
Lost inside my dream...

Remembering promises,
Once made but now unspoken,
Born of child-like minds,
These shadows of the past are now forsaken.
From the dawn of your first day,
To this death bed on which you lay,
To survive we must comply,
With the ritual of your life.
Can you remember things we said,
The dreams our expectations,
Like ashes scattered in the wind,
There is no recollection.
Throughout the passing years,
Faith will allay your years,
Follow the holy rites,
In the ritual of your life.
Life an endless ritual
Continuation perpetual
Throughout the passing years,
Faith will allay your years,
Follow the holy rites,
In the ritual of your life.
Try to remember if you can,
The pacts we made most solemn,
Hands of time have bought decay,
Those memories are forgotten.
Now as you reach the end,
All pain you must transcend,
When you die you can't deny,

Dame emoción, dame emoción
Dame emoción, dame emoción
Estoy entrando al espiral
De un mundo espiritual
Celebrar un ritual
Es un transe corporal
La sensación vital
De flotar, de volar
Y escapar para que te agotes
Dame emoción, dame emoción
Solo esta noche
Dame emoción, dame emoción
Solo esta noche
Dame emoción, dame emoción
Soy el pulso celestial
Frecuencia universal
Celebrar un ritual
Es la conexión total
Instante atemporal
A flotar, a volar
Y escapar para que te agotes
Dame emoción, dame emoción
Solo esta noche
Dame emoción, dame emoción
Para que te agotes
Dame emoción, dame emoción
Solo esta noche
Dame emoción, dame emoción
Para que te agotes
Dame emoción, dame emoción
Solo esta noche
Dame emoción, dame emoción
Para que te agotes
Dame emoción, dame emoción
Solo esta noche

I Alone I Fill My Head With Everything I Have See Into My Empty
Face Scarred I Know I'll Never Be You're All The Power In My
Fucked Up Feelings Worn Out By Frayed Old Visions I Know I Am
You Too So I Wear Your Mission Mark My Every Step And I Choke
My Lonely Breath So I Can Bear My Seed Slay Well I Do Know My
Hand Obey I Look Into Myself Crawling Ragged In My Brain I'm No
Enemy To Me I Am The Hate You Made Of Flesh And Blood I Am The
Man You Ate Now Left To Sour Embark My Solitude Fill Up With
Pain Beloved Enemy You Never Betray I Know You Still I Pay Simple
Way Go Insane I Don't Beg Never I Choose Will I Ever I'm Still You
Chaos Is The Way You Drain Me Into Be You Last Traces Of The Me
Converted By Your Rein Merge Into An Indigestible Pestilent Trip
Seasons Of Infinity Inhabitant Of Pain Incorporeal Sense Can't
Resist What I Need Spirits To Release My Power Reckon I'm Beyond
Recuperation Swallow Every Hour Here I Stand In The Middle Of
My Entity Revile My Head You're All I Have And I Ask Your Feelings
Ritual Ritual Hand In Hand Back To Back Yearning To To Obey See I
Go Insane Me Your Only Friend I Never Run Away Hate You're All I
Ever Have You Know I Am Seeing Your Realm At My Bed Our Love
Never Ending You Run My Head See I Was Made For You Roll My

You are all alone
Surrounded by your beauty
Your excellence in everything
In fulfilling all possible needs
Fueled by your social greed
Fueled by your social greed
Ensure that nobody gets ahead
Exceed more and more
Live to achieve all the targets
Of the social greed
Beneath all, hollow and vain
Solitude shall prevail
Salvation is the ritual!
You're all alone in this world
Surrounded by you vanity
Excellence of your existence
Is an illusion we can't see
Beneath all, hollow and vain
Solitude shall prevail
Salvation, redemption

[Instrumental]

Holy fire burns again
The Magic Circle is all around it
Burning like the innocence of love
Let the mist surround it
Spinning like the Fortune Wheel
Hand into hand, we pray together
Visions of a future world appear
As the holy fire burns
And a face is there
From the smoke a face is rising
Ancient, like the reason of life
Get your body close to mine
There is a Ritual longing for us
Such a thing you await
For all your life
Let yourself surrender now
And a face is there
From the fire a face is rising
Mystic, like the reason of life
Holy Flame,
The Ritual yearns without you
Understand,
The Mystery lies about you
Once again the fate has
Crossed our ways
As the fire burns away...
Hold on
Cause I need you
And I want to know
What took so long...
And your Fortune,
You just need to understand!
Holy Fire burning on
Closing the Circle back together
Once around and coming evr more
Just to start all over
And a face is there
From the fire a face is rising
Magic, like the reason of life
Holy Flame,
The Ritual yearns without you
Understand,
The Mystery lies about you
Once again the fate has
Crossed our ways
As the fire burns and once again
The fate has crossed our ways

Praying for what your heart brings
Thoughts of escape and bloodshot eyes
You're barely sleeping, no longer dreaming
Now what you do to feel alive?
Rise up and celebrate your life
We're not alone in our ritual
Sing for what you feel inside
Becoming one with our ritual
Singing songs of the old days
Try to remember what's gone by
Stronger in new ways, don't care what they say
This is your life, it's time to rejoice
Rise up and celebrate your life
We're not alone in our ritual
Sing for what you feel inside
Becoming one with our ritual
Our destiny is what we learned
Together wanting something more
Their misery and demons burn
A feeling that's worth fighting for
Rise up and celebrate your life
We're not alone in our ritual
Sing for what you feel inside
Becoming one with our ritual
Rise up and celebrate your life
We're not alone in our ritual
Sing for what you feel inside
Becoming one with our ritual

Do you know what it is like to run?
Do you know what it is like to live in fear?
Because she knows what it's like to run.
Because she knows what it's like to live in fear.
Rape ritual.
How can I stand in silence while you are raping my sister?
Ritual!
Throw it in the wind because I ain't with that.
Say, what have we done with mother, sister, daughter, lover?
Beat them down to submission, into that corner of constant fear.
Humanity reduced to a sexual commodity, objectification, pretty faces.
Molded imagery damn they drop the dirty mack demands.
She's more than booty to me; bypass her sexuality.
Tradition, your sexism is what you want me to learn.
Surrender gender hatred, fade it to kill it, compassion returns.
1 out of 3, and they say my sisters are free, incarcerated by hatred.
Propagated by sodomny, continual ritual victimizing my sister.
Physical rape is psychological murder.
Ritual! Jenny!
Ho! Slut! Trick! Bitch! Buddy!
Terms that burn in our popular brutality.
That media camera's at you, trying to show you what's up.
Illusion magazine fantasy got you feinding to bust a nut.
Body identity suffocates in her nudity - she's dying inside.
Fashions asking won't let her be.
Strip her to flesh for apathetic male ego.
You bet the set ain't down with your wak.
Rape ritual!
We got to meet this hate with love.
We got to meet this hatred with love.
Why do we fall for it, fuel it, sexual violence equality?
Please.
So-called alternative movement statistics never confess her wounded aloneness ,
internal inferno, locked away calm diminishment.
Sharon Stone, you ain't all that.
Madonna, you ain't all that.
Sell you shallow shock value charade is wak.
Sister, put a fist in what's expected of you.
Deny! Defy!
False definition of you too;
there's no excuse for this brutality or this lack of humanity.
rape ritual.
I say I throw you into the wind.

Far beyond the edge of sight, in a deep and distant land
Lies the dark and misty road that takes the shadow of a man
He stumbles on a band of savage sinners, pagan fools!
Worshipping the carcasses and carrion left by you
Have you seen their eyes?
Have you heard their cry?
Have you seen the pain
That brings them down again?
With pig's blood and with poison, they prepare the evil Rite
With dignity, they march their sacrifice into the night
A maid, no more than twelve years old, will soon be with the Man
Free the virgin chained to stone, and you will win her hand
Born within the young, and then it spread throughout the old
A demon wrecked their bodies, stole their minds, possessed their souls
Writhing, bleeding madman, spitting screaming, bloody fright!

I am cutting of my fingers one by one.
Needle and tread.
(A ten bead necklace. For you.)
You are smiling.
For the first and the last time.
Now.
My body still bleeds invisible.
Chains encircle my broken wrists.
But we can get out of them.

At night when the voices that come
And flame flows through the woods along the wall
We have nothing left to say
Because we use some terrible words
To get such subtle rewards
That never seem worth it too me
They say the older we are, we can't change
And I say, that all that we are
Is just dark matter anyway, so just pray...
With me.
You and I keep falling further away
It's become our ritual
We stare like strangers through each other in to the wall...
And you say, when your knives and your nails come unfurled
From the caged theoretical storms that mean nothing
But they go straight through me
'cause we use some terrible words
Which always sends me crippled in to flying
You say it's not too late, we can change.
And I say, hurry up, help me touch the ground tonight.
Please...
Say the words.
You and I keep falling further away
It's become our ritual
We stair like strangers straight through each other in to the wall...
You and I keep falling further away
It's become our ritual
We stair like strangers straight through each other in to the wall...
Do you ever think you could erase the things I've said?
The bitter words that drip from wounds, inside your head.
I wanna see the blood rush back in to your face.

Kreslis znameni, zapalujes svice
Pronasis formuli, lektvar popijis
Vzyvas boha, jenz zapomenut v case
Davno zemrel, snad ho probudis
Nekonecny tunel, co obejde i cas
Letis tmou, chces na svetle byt zas
Pozde je chtit, zmenit presly den
Z dalky zaznel slaby smutny sten
Stesti ti preje, brana se otvira
Prochazis a zas se zavira
Uz vidis svetlo - jen matny bledy svit
Ted jsi tam, kam pokousel ses jit
Temny chram, davny ritual
Obet, oltar, vstoupils nepozvan
Nepric casem prosels stovku let
Videt chtel jsi carodejnic slet
Byl jsi spatren, zas lektvar popijis
Ted jako obet, asi se nevratis
Ten samy buh, co poslouzit ti mel
Bere si tvuj zivot, ze spoutat jsi ho chtel
Kreslis znameni, zapalujes svice
Pronasis formuli, lektvar popijis
Vzyvas boha, jenz zapomenut v case
Davno zemrel, snad ho probudis
Temny chram a davny ritual
Obet, oltar, vstoupils nepozvan
Nepric casem prosels stovku let

[instrumental]

Smelly nights, unholy days, nightmares awakes me
Empty bottles laughing at me, Demons screamin' my name
CHORUS
It's the same...Always
It's always the same...ritual
It's the same...Always
It's always the same... ritual
Dirty clothes, sweet & beer, Naked bitches beside me.
Cumming on their faces & Breaking their butts... Baby
call me daddy
CHORUS
It's the same...Always
It's always the same...ritual
It's the same...Always

Ross Bay grave
Black mass begins
Blasphemous prayers
Are being chanted backwards
Black pentagram cult
Are ripping up dead corpses
Burning the chapel
The wholy will die
Death to all angels
Fall from the sky
Death and destruction
Satanic slaughter flames tonight
Wholy God die
Christ will burn in blackened tombs sacrifice
Hooded demons
Virgin slayed ritual
Black witching metal
Drink the sluts blood
Bloody dripping orgie
Sacrifice the wholy bitch
Whine of Satan
Witches create the spell
Dust through dawn
The witches sing their songs
Death to all angels
Fall from the sky
Death and destruction
Satanic slaughter flames tonight
Wholy God die
Christ will burn in blackened tombs sacrifice
Hooded demons
