The burning incense fills the air

as censers swing from withered hands

Chanting long-forgotten hymns

from beyond all mortal lands

The chiming of unearthly bells

from behind the veil of reality

The call to summon those that dwell

in phantasmal infinity

Heed this call, grotesque beings of old

Manifest as enchantments unfold

Rites of the forgotten

Rites of the unseen

Rites that summon them to rise

Those of the macabre

Those of the obscene

Rise!

The gateway opens from the deep

as foretold in prophecy

The means to summon those that sleep

in divine immortality

From the altar drenched and wet with death

ascends the end of humankind

Whispered prayers under breath

as the deities break their binds

Claim this world, dreadful beings set free

Animated by this dark liturgy

When the moon is waning

and the stars are hidden

Then the hymns are chanted

from the scrolls forbidden

When the blood is streaming

And the seals are broken

Then the portal opens

and the gods are woken

Rituals of horror

Rituals of doom

Prophecies of godly rule

You of endless malice

You of endless gloom

Rise!
