Black Masses Lyrics
[Verse One]
Come and join
My black masses
Bring along
Your iron axes
Now draw a circle
Right here in the light
I'll tell you
Just what to write
[Pre-Chorus]
Elohim... Adonai... Tetragrammaton
[Verse Two]
Slaughtering babies
In ceremonial ways
If we're lucky
We can see them for days
'Cause baby blood
Is full of strength
But I tell you
Oh how it stinks
Give me some baby blood
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
Black masses, black masses, black masses...
Running wild
[Verse Three]
Spittin' blood
In my lady's face
I show her my pets
A few rotten heads
And about my lady
If she can't take it
She's got to face it
I'll slaughter her too
[Verse One]
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
Killing babies
Black masses
