"Rite Of Passage" lyrics

I dug up the bones
And scattered them in the forest
They are paving my way
I caught fireflies
And turned them into breathing lanterns
They are lighting the way through the black

I torment my flesh to
Expel my tainted aura
As I get to the core of the dark
And I ravish my shadow self
Just a little more
I assemble my strengths to reform

A hundred ravens fly in the night sky
From the woodland veil
The leaves surrender to the eldritch Earth
And I condemn the light
As I linger in the shade of night

I swear by the moon and the devil
I pledge to the mists of forever
The head of the snake I will sever
I've been waiting for the rite of passage to begin
Rite of passage to begin

Rite of passage to begin

I crave for you, black flame
Thy primordial fire
As I forsake the curse of man
I follow the path through
Dark and hideous tunnels
And I relive again at dusk

A hundred ravens fly in the night sky
From the woodland veil
The leaves surrender to the eldritch Earth
And I condemn the light
As I linger in the shade of night

I swear by the moon and the devil
I pledge to the mists of forever
The head of the snake I will sever
I've been waiting for the rite of passage to begin
Rite of passage to begin

I swear by the moon and the devil
I pledge to the mists of forever
I'll wait for you, wait for you
I swear by the moon and the devil
I bid farewell to the curse of man, to the light
I'll wait for you, wait for you

I crave for you now, black flame
Bathed by the light of the moon
The blood is dense where darkness crawls
As I reshape in other form

I swear by the moon and the devil
I pledge to the mists of forever
The head of the snake I will sever
I've been waiting for the rite of passage to begin
Rite of passage to begin
