Blood Ritual To the Gods of the Underworld

With the seriousness of D flat Major And a purpose hideously grim My ritual of despair and darkness Is about to mercilessly begin The shedding of innocent blood As I summon a screaming soul Moans like the organs of Dracul Rehearsing a satanic goal The mist, the fog, the moon Comingle in an unholy alliance Like the eye of something insidious Crushing all hope and defiance The confused victim is before me Looking at me in disbelief His gaze turns to my blade That was forged to bring him grief I begin to move forward The way an apparition will float Like a violation of sovereignty I put the razor to his throat This sacrifice must be made To take me where the demons lurk Damn, I always cut myself shaving When I'm getting ready for work
