Ritual Lyrics by Ghost

Opus Eponymous

2010

[Verse 1: Papa Emeritus]
Tonight, we're summoned for a divine cause
Remembrance, no, but for their future loss

[Chorus: Papa Emeritus]
This chapel of ritual smells of dead
Human sacrifices from the altar...

[Verse 2: Papa Emeritus]
Beduins and Nomads carried through the times
Through pestilences and famines, these ancient scrolls of rhymes
"Our fallen angel vexed was banished from the sky
Recite now from the text, pray for all to die"

[Chorus: Papa Emeritus]
This chapel of ritual smells of dead
Human sacrifices from the altar bed
On this night of ritual, invoking our master
To procreate the unholy bastard

[Bridge: Papa Emeritus]
"Our father, who art in Hell
Unhallowed, be thy name
Cursed be the sons and daughters
Of thine nemesis whom are to blame
Thy kingdom come, Nema!"

[Verse 3: Papa Emeritus]
Tonight, we summoned for his unholy fiend
Now celebrate the end

[Chorus: Papa Emeritus]
This chapel of ritual smells of dead
Human sacrifices from the altar bed
On this night of ritual, invoking our master
To procreate the unholy bastard
