Lyrics
Verse 1 - Male Spoken Word
I stand within this hallowed ground
Where ancient forces sleep profound
The candlelight begins to dance
As I prepare for circumstance
Something stirs beneath my skin
A hunger I can't name within
The ritual calls, I hear its voice
Tonight I make my fateful choice
Pre-Chorus - Female Vocals
(Come to me, come to me)
Through the veil of mystery
(Feel the pull, feel the call)
Something's awakening in us all
Chorus - Female Vocals with Male Echo
I summon thee from depths unknown (depths unknown)
Through blood and bone, through flesh and stone (flesh and stone)
Desire burns like sacred fire (sacred fire)
Rising higher, dark desire (AABCCB)
Verse 2 - Male Spoken Word
The symbols carved in crimson ink
Begin to pulse, begin to link
My mortal soul to something vast
The die is cast, the spell holds fast
I taste the copper on my tongue
Ancient words that must be sung
The air grows thick with primal need
This is my covenant, my creed
Pre-Chorus - Female Vocals
(Come to me, come to me)
Through the veil of mystery
(Feel the pull, feel the call)
Something's awakening in us all
Chorus - Female Vocals with Male Echo
I summon thee from depths unknown (depths unknown)
Through blood and bone, through flesh and stone (flesh and stone)
Desire burns like sacred fire (sacred fire)
Rising higher, dark desire

We summon thee from depths unknown (depths unknown)
Through blood and bone, through flesh and stone (flesh and stone)

Rising higher, dark desire
Outro - Male Whispered
The ritual is complete
But I am no longer me
Something else now lives within
And I welcome what I've been
