The Ritual of Dawn Lyrics

[music: Mårtenson, lyrics: Jussi K. Niemelä]

Wash her
Kiss her
Feel my

Thunder

She's gone

Like my wrath

She's gone

You scream

Watch me

Kneeling

Touch her

She's here
Heat fire

She's here

Summoning me
Blessing our grief

My love

Lie down
Praying

Worship

Dying
My life
Bleeding

My life

Sleeping

Weeping
Hear my

Silence

She's gone
Fire

She's gone

Hold the candles and slay the sky

Take her home
Sanctify

Curse the darkness to make it right

Watch the dawn, closing her eyes
See it shine

See me rise
Like the sun

Breeding life

Make her sleep

In my heart

There she waits
Fire

And I feel the rays

Closing in on me

And her spirit stays
Fire
