Embrace the Stone - Age Of Taurus

Behind the tower stands a chapel

Pillars of gold reach for the stars

The sight of arcane ritual orders

Where mystic practice runs it’s course

Forbidden to all but the highest

A sacred corner, fortified

By invitation of the ruler

Come witness it with us tonight

The gathered party fills the courtyard

In a circle, on their knees

A single torch lights up the centre

The ashen slab’s expecting thee

At dusk the oaken doorway opens

A fevered tension starts to rise

Chanting penetrates the silence

The ceremony comes alive

Out of the shadows

The hooded priests appear

Clouded in incense

That hangs in the air

Dragging of chains

As they march down the steps

Make the decision

Of whose turn is next

Screaming and crying

The chosen ones are led

Onto the altar and

Bound by their heads

Feel the damp chill

Of cold blood on your cheek

Embrace the stone

It’s the last thing you’ll ever see

The curse has brought destruction

For all that used to be
