Lyrics:
Come walk with me through endless time
See what has been and what the future sees
Share the wisdom of the old world that has passed
Step in a life that's yet to be born
You spill the blood
Eternal soul
I'll show you sights that you would not believe
Experience pleasures thought unobtained
At one with evil that has ruled before
Now smell the stench of immortality
You spill the blood
Eternal soul
Spill the blood, let it run onto me
Take my hand and let go of your life
Close your eyes and see what is me
Raise the chalice. Embrace forevermore.
You've spilt the blood
I'll have your soul
