lyrics

Following three memorable nights
You led me here: your chamber of frights
Binding me, you stole your delights

Drawing circles, drawing circles 'round my waist
Carving circles, carving circles in my nave
Burning circles, burning circles on my face

Once you struck the final bell, I awoke in your spell

You had chosen me as your sacrifice
Suitable to die because I lack the light
Trust no secret; leave no witness

As I faced my death, I discovered my resolve
Not to save my life, but to kill this monstrous soul

You

Hovering you strayed
Feigning sleep I passed the test
Now to fasten my existence to your death

Leaning forward, I committed not to yield
Carving circles, carving circles with my teeth

As you bled and died, you prepared a final spell
Carving circles, carving circles with your nails

In the grains divined, you revealed a crimson name
Drawing circles, drawing circles 'round your grave

Now I've chosen you to be my sacrifice
Suitable to die because you lack the light

Trust no secret; leave no witness
Burning circles, burning circles in your name

Trust no secret; leave no witness
Crossing circles, crossing circles 'round your name
