Ceremonial Surgery

from The Barrens by Crypticus

/

lyrics

You are invited to return here after dark
As a new member of our cult you'll play a crucial part
Be sure we value your attendance at this rite
But do not venture to reveal what frightful things you'll see tonight

Lead: "Silentium" by Bruss

Now, on with the masquerade,
Don now your masks & robes, make sharp your sacred blades
A victim has been found to serve our ghastly needs
The pain we must inflict, on which The Master feeds

Fear sustains that beastly life
That thing we brought to life by means of sacrifice
The alchemy of blood & steel
To vivisect & slice & peel
Surgery surreal

Lead: "The List of 7" by Bruss

Perhaps you did not comprehend my secret motives to extend your invitation here, my friend
I feel that I may have neglected to reveal you've been selected as the next to be dissected!
