lyrics

They come to the altar
To offer blood spilt
To satisfy the red gods hunger
To repay such an ancient debt

We will sacrifice our enemies
We will sacrifice our friends
Blood spilling down the stones
Spurting red against the slab
The sun demands an offering
Or it will set for a thousand years
And so we offer rivers of blood
And the hearts of the dead

Come and offer yourselves to the slaughter
Come and die so that many can live
Come and offer yourselves to the altar
Split skin ritual to appease the gods

Cutting your heart out
And opening your veins
The sacred bloodletting
We give life for ours in return

The priests have made a pact
An agreement signed in blood
To keep the gods in balance
That we must keep forever
For with the coming
Of the setting of the fifth sun
Darkness shall fall
And everyone will die

Come and offer yourselves to the slaughter
Come and die so that many can live
Come and offer yourselves to the altar
Split skin ritual to appease the gods
