Nekyia (Hideous Rite of the Spilled Blood) Lyrics

By the guidance of Circe
Horrid Pilgrimage to Mighty Hades
Tenebrous plane of the dead
Beyond the edges of the earth
Never reached by the sun

Here, at the rock where two rivers meet
Spill the blood of the sacrificial prey
down to the Erebus of Tartara
To rouse the dead and reveal
the secrets of the craved return

Neckromanteion katavasis
Cthonic Oracle of Death
The swarm of the ghosts approaches
Animated by the Hideous Rite

Horrible shade of the Theban
Gold Scepter in Hand
The Seer must drink from the Black Blood
Oh blind Mantis Teiresias - show him the way!
