Final Ritual Lyrics by Dark Funeral

Attera Totus Sanctus

2005

[Intro]
Long have I waited, and long have I lain here alone
Cold and starving in the dark
Moment by moment I'm drifting closer
To the land of the dead
[Verse 1]
An incessant noise echoes in my skull
It twines and vibrates down my spine
Fanning out raw endings of my nerves
The noise grows louder, its source looming closer
In a tightening spiral
The center cannot hold, things fall apart
Takes all the strength just to open my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Is this really what dying feels like?
[Chorus]
Ritual begins when the moon are at crest
I call for the ancients to guide me through the gates
Silver-moon white blade, so cold against my skin
Warm crimson blood glistening in the dark
[Verse 2]
I am sealed in my own tomb, nine days of fast
The ritual will begin, so long and painful it will be
And most likely I will not come out alive
But I made up my mind
There is no turning back now
The utter destruction of light
The end of my life
[Chorus]
Ritual begins when the moon are at crest
I call for the ancients to guide me through the gates
Silver-moon white blade, so cold against my skin
Warm crimson blood glistening in the dark
I have formed my intentions
The shadows gather, thickening in the air
I submit myself to the darkness
And I throw myself into the abyss
[Bridge]
Ritual begins
[Pre-Chorus]
Is this really what dying feels like?
[Chorus]
Ritual begins when the moon are at crest
I call for the ancients to guide me through the gates
Silver-moon white blade, so cold against my skin
Warm crimson blood glistening in the dark
I have formed my intentions
The shadows gather, thickening in the air
I submit myself to the darkness
And I throw myself into the abyss
[Outro]
I offer thee my flesh and blood
Guide me through the gates
Grant to me eternal life
The ultimate sacrifice
Sacrifice!
