in the shrouded night
death lurks fast
the ritual begins
the forest stops
the moon is full
and the rains begin
silence takes over
and you hear
the screams of the forest
the terror grows
and blood is spilt
upon the unknown grave
haunting aura
is all around you
the ritual is long done
the altar collects dust
and the forest still screams
the night sky shines
darkness upon the forest
as haunted memories stir
of the sacrifice
of the rituals forgotten
from so long ago
the ghosts still linger
the grave so shallow
and the forest that still screams
the inverted cross upon the altar
still brings darkness and insanity
visions and memories of a time
when blood poured of the sacrifice
