[Verse 1]
[Am]The Ritual And The Reckoning
A new age, A new golden age is upon us

[Verse 2]
The [Am]sun shines on obsidi[F]an,
[Am]this blade will [Dm]plun[Am]ge into a holy reverie[F][Dm][Am]
[F]Upon [Am]the altar lies the one [F]who'[Am]s worthy,
we'll pluck his heart from his chest [F]cav[Dm]ity[Am][F]
(Time to die)
Between the peaks that [Am]rise,
[F]his chalice fills with rivers of sacrifice
[Am]And [F]when the time is come,[Am]
his [F]drink will spill onto the steps of the sun
[Am]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Now [Dm]go and be[F] the heart that
[Am]saves what [Dm]we've un[Am]done
This is worth [Dm]death
Now [F]be the heart that [Am]saves
what can't be saved

[Verse 4]
Worthless
[Am]Fire is lit within the [F]gap[Am]ing wound,
[Dm]we'll [Am]light our torches from his rife [F]brazier[Dm][Am]
[F]The [Am]hearth in every temple [F]cold, [Am]suspended,
[F]mak[Dm]e kno[Am]wn the time of empty days is [F]her[Am]e

[Verse 5]
[Am]Years [Dm]craw[Am]l fas[Dm]ter as[Am] the ha[F]nd[E][Am][Bm]
[Am]s ti[Dm]ck close[F]r to t[Dm]he tw[Am]elve[Bb]
[Am]One [Bb]more u[Am]ntil[G#5] it's [E]over[Am]
[Dm]Years crawl [E]faster [Am]as th[E]e
[Am]hands [Dm]tick closer to the twelve
[Bb]One [Am]more u[E]nt[G#]il th[E]e f[Am]inal five

[Verse 6]
An[E]d if the ribs s[Am]hould not
bring forth new [E]fire
[F]Will [Dm]our G[E]od f[C]all[Am][G][Am][E]
[Am][F][Dm][E][Am]

[Interlude 2]
from the sky?
[Am][Dm][Am]
[E][F][Am][Dm][E][Am][G][Am]

[Verse 7]
Be [Am]strong, tonight there is
no [F]room [Am]for failure
The light must come and
drive the dark away
Destroy mankind
We'll stand and harken
in this [F]sol[Am] ar era
[Dm]The skie[Am]s will fill with cries of victory
