[Verse 1] Blood on the stone, whispers in the dark, A ritual begins, it tears us apart. Bound by the faith, or maybe the thrill, A blade in my hand, a hunger to kill. [Pre-Chorus] The gods don’t speak, but I hear them well, Their silence is louder than the tolling of hell. [Chorus] Sacrifice, at the altar of pain, The cries feed the fire, the blood leaves a stain. No salvation, no mercy remains, We’re all bound to the altar of pain. [Verse 2] Eyes wide with fear, they plead in vain, Their screams are music, sweet like rain. A life for a life, the sacred refrain, It’s not madness; it’s the cost of the game. [Pre-Chorus] The gods don’t see, but they demand the toll, A pound of flesh for a splintered soul. [Chorus] Sacrifice, at the altar of pain, The cries feed the fire, the blood leaves a stain. No salvation, no mercy remains, We’re all bound to the altar of pain. [Bridge (Spoken, over harsh, distorted beats)] "Kneel before the altar; there’s no turning back. The blade will fall, the world turns black. This is devotion, a violent prayer, A feast of torment, laid bare." [Screamed] Cut! Cut! Cut away the sin! Let the offering begin! [Final Chorus] Sacrifice, at the altar of pain, The cries feed the fire, the blood leaves a stain. No redemption, no love remains, We’re all bound to the altar of pain. [Outro] (Droning synth, fading into whispers) And when the gods abandon the flame, We’ll still worship the altar of pain.
