At the stroke of midnight, the ritual begins Seven black candles flicker as the darkness closes in A circle carved in ash surrounds the ancient stone No light crosses the boundary, no witness stands alone I bring the parchment, I bring the flame I write my blood beneath my name A crimson line across the page A final vow, a final stage Blood on the altar, blood on the seal Spit on the parchment, making the bargain real Piss poured around the circle, a ring of defiance Shit scattered at the edges, mocking repentance and silence The candles burn lower The shadows grow tall The room becomes colder As I answer the call I HAVE SOLD MY SOUL TO SATAN I HAVE GIVEN HIM MY NAME I HAVE WALKED INTO THE DARKNESS AND I WILL NEVER FEAR THE FLAME I mark the four corners with blood from my hand I draw the final sigil exactly as planned I smear black ash across the center of the sign Then place the contract beneath the dying light Spit upon the seal Blood upon the stone Filth upon the threshold Now I stand alone The air begins to tremble The candle flames turn blue A voice comes from the darkness And whispers, “I have heard you.” I HAVE SOLD MY SOUL TO SATAN THE CONTRACT HAS BEEN SIGNED I HAVE THROWN AWAY SALVATION AND LEFT THE LIGHT BEHIND I pour the last dark mixture across the altar Blood, spit, piss and filth beneath the fire The parchment drinks the liquid The symbols start to glow And something underneath the floor Begins to breathe below I kneel before the circle But I do not bow my head I stare into the darkness And accept the words I've said No priest can break the contract No prayer can change the seal No angel crosses this circle No mercy can make it unreal The candles suddenly extinguish The room is drowned in black A shadow rises from behind me And there is no turning back I HAVE SOLD MY SOUL TO SATAN I HAVE GIVEN HIM MY NAME I HAVE WALKED INTO THE DARKNESS AND I WILL NEVER FEAR THE FLAME The altar cracks beneath me The parchment starts to burn The blood becomes like fire And the shadows twist and turn The circle breaks apart The ancient symbols fade The final drop of blood falls And the bargain has been made I hear the distant thunder I hear the black bells toll Something cold moves through me And reaches for my soul The contract turns to ashes The ashes rise like smoke The darkness whispers softly And every candle chokes I HAVE SOLD MY SOUL TO SATAN LET THE HEAVENS HEAR ME CRY I HAVE CHOSEN MY ETERNAL DARKNESS UNDERNEATH THE BLACKENED SKY Blood upon the altar Spit upon the stone Piss around the circle Filth around the throne The ritual is finished The final seal is closed The doorway stands behind me And the darkness now knows I HAVE SOLD MY SOUL TO SATAN THE NIGHT HAS TAKEN ME NO RETURN AND NO REPENTANCE ONLY DARKNESS — ETERNALLY
