Blood Atonement

Heart of darkness, untouched by the light No God can forgive these sins Cleansing ritual, purify Prepare the sacrifice Absolution denied Stains only blood can wash away A forsaken life Rid the world of this plague, lower the blade No, the hangman's noose won't do for you Your reign of torment ends in bloodshed With a fall of the axe your death comes to pass Staining the ground below crimson red Absolution denied Stains only blood can wash away A forsaken life Rid the world of this plague, lower the blade One thousand daggers drawn to open your throat And every drop you bleed will poison the earth below Rotting beneath the spoiled ground No mourners to visit my desolate grave And here I remain, buried in hate Absolution denied Stains only blood can wash away A forsaken life Rid the world of this plague, lower the blade
