Ritual Lyrics

Remembering promises
Once made but now unspoken
Born of childlike minds
These shadows of the past are now forsaken
From the dawn of your first day
To this death bed in which you lay
To survive we must comply
With the ritual of your life
Can you remember things you said
The dreams our expectations

Like ashes scattered in the wind
There is no recollection
Throughout the passing years
Faith will allay your years [sings: fears]
Follow the holy rites
In the ritual of your life
Life and endless ritual
Continuation perpetual
Throughout the passing years
Faith will allay your years [sings: fears]
Follow the holy rites
In the ritual of your life
Try to remember if you can
The pacts we made most solemn
Hands of time have brought decay
Those memories are forgotten
Now as you reach the end
All pain you must transcend
When you die you can't deny
The ritual of your life
