Say hello again, my friends

I've got to go

The ritual calls to me

Screams twist in harmony

Blinding lights reveal

The thoughts that should not be

The ritual calls to me

Silent insanity

You really thought you'd never

Be the one who bleeds

It's all so clear to me now

Why can't you see?

Revelations breaking through

The truth distorts

Untimely accident

Your precious mind is lost

Try to regain again my friend

Your sanity

The ritual calls to me

Melodic agony

You really never thought you would never

Be the one who bleeds

It's all so clear to me now

Why can't they see?

Fry away your mind

Walk behind the blind

Kill yourself killing time

Oooh, what'cha gonna do

When your life is sold

To a world so cold?

Hey, what'cha gonna say

When you're on your way

On your darkest day?

Hey, darkest day


[Guitar Solo]

Oooh, what'cha gonna do

When your life is sold

To a world so cold?

Hey, what'cha gonna say

When you're on your way

On your darkest day?

Hey, darkest day

Say goodbye again, my friends

I'm coming home

The ritual calls to me

Distant reality

Unseen images expose

What I can't see

The ritual calls to me

Won't ever set me free

You really thought you'd never

Be the one who bleeds

It's all so clear to me now

Why they can't see?

Fry away your mind

Walk behind the blind

Kill yourself killing time
