The Ritual from Cumberland Falls by Shunkan

I felt the earth
throw me down like a wrestler
he moves like a dancer

and I felt his chair
metal straight to my head
I was presumed dead

but I stood up straight
cracked all of my bones
sat up right on my throne

and I looked around
you were bowing down
you were bowing down

oh, you could come around
out in the dark
dance around the flames
take a bite of my heart

and we spin around
our face to our backs
seeing daggers in their eyes
spirits out like fireflies

I'm mummified
wrap me up in your arms
it works like a charm

the body once was warm
now it's all but the ashes
of hymns and passages

I stood up straight
cracked all of my bones
sat up right on my throne

and I looked around
you were bowing down
you were bowing down

oh, you could come around
out in the dark
dance around the flames
take a bite of my heart

and we spin around
our face to our backs
seeing daggers in their eyes
spirits out like fireflies
