Rite of the Sovereign Blood

[Verse 1] Open the wrist. Let the warm life run. This is the gift I give before the mirror is spun. [Chorus] Blood of the shaman, blood of the line, imperfect thread of the Ark. Mana in the vein, rite of the Mark we pour the old magic, we wait for the sign. [Verse 2] Cold edge kisses skin, Clan drinks the offering deep. No cry, no plea this is the first wound I keep. [Chorus] Blood of the shaman, blood of the line, imperfect thread of the Ark. Mana in the vein, rite of the Mark we pour the old magic, we wait for the sign. [Break: Guitar Solo] [Bridge] The vein is emptied. The Sign appeared, The Soveregn Blood awakens, The Soul sings! [Chorus 2] Blood of the priest, blood of the spark, Empowering ritual in the dark. We seek the successor the Ark demands the vein is emptied, the myth commands.
