Deep in the night they meet again
It’s time to offer another child
Hails to the gods of eternal night
And the crowd is going wild
See them dance and hear them sing
They hide their faces as the ritual begins
A crying child, it’s face in fear
The flames are dancing in the wind
The priest arrives and they bless the child
Holy words come from his mouth
He lays the child on the altar of stone
And a whispering wind comes from the south
See them dance and hear them sing
They raise their hands and the ritual begins
The child still crying, but nevermore
And the innocent blood runs to the floor
Suddenly the sky darkens
And the wind becomes storm
The heaven sends thunder and rain
And they wash away the blood still warm
I beg you hear my words
Take this child we offer you
We are not many, but many more will rise
We praise your name and kneel before you
Come with fire, come with the sword
I beg you hear my words
Give us the power to rule this land
And lead us to conquer the world
Combining jazz-infused prog, ‘70s heavy metal and stoner doom, thrash metal, and grunge, the Puerto Rican legion’s debut is nothing short of a behemoth. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 7, 2018
