Festival of the Crushed Skull Moon by Graven Maul Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2018

Cleanse yourself before
The festival of the crushed skull moon
Feast, celebration and praise
Coursing powers spill from cosmic rays
Sacrifice, a death consecration
Bowing to idols to ward off doom
The young warriors engage in ritual combat
Be pinned or wounded, walk free in shame
The unscathed champion, the pride of the tribe
To appease dark gods, will fall on his knife
The crushed skull moon has risen
Wonder fills their eyes
The sacrifice steps forward
Offering his life
Servants bring oil and tinder
To stoke a roaring blaze
The companion virgins
Are placed upon their knees
They are asphyxiated
To serve eternally
The life drains from his eyes
With a euphoric grin
All placed upon the blaze
The clan shouts words of thanks
The day of doom staved
A blessing upon their grain
The ashes gathered for the youth
Are muddled into caustic paste
They drink the fermentation of the sacrifice
To grant them dark infernal strength
