Blood on the Altar of Dis Lyrics

Gathered in this Temple
Hooded with the wolfskin cloaks…
Corpselike oracle brandishes vipers
Light the Pyre of Stygian Communion….

Faces averted from the Altar
Grim Ascension of the Bloodless
Shapes of the Deceased float above the swamps
Unchained from beyond the Corpsegates…

Doom is invoked this unauspicious hour
In the horrid eve of Lemuria… with bloodied blades
Torches made from Funeral branches
Honour the Raging Hounds of Dis…

Ancestral Shades with obscured faces
Gaunt and eyeless they peer through the Fog
Stench of Blood has gathered them around the Pit
Those whose screams haunt the Winds…..

Eris… Phrike… Keres...
Inferior lives are offered in your praise
Bring forth the throats of the invaders
Styx is howling for their Blood……….
