Demons (A Mexican Fiesta)

      Clouds pass over the moon
      Like an eye that shows impending doom
      Tension in this misty air
      Souls pass into the room
      Drawn in by a lost memory
      You will join them in the moonlight

      You are my offering
      Your soul transcends
      The centuries of pain
      Your misery in life
      Is your ecstasy in death

      Time passes like the wind
      As we race to beat days dusky grin
      Mornings just a moment away
      Your body glistens in candlelight
      As we all look on in fiendish delight
      The ritual is just beginning

      Come fulfill the prophecy
      With our demons of debauchery
      As virgins and spectres sing
      This madness will never cease

      In the dead of night
      You will follow
      In the footsteps of many others
      Who have come before
      I will show you the altar
      Your Aztec eyes, Egyptian hair
      Your beauty bestoved upon my lair
      I've loved you before, in other lives
      But you've never meant as much to me
      Never meant as much to me as now

      In this night of sacrifice
      Where blood is spilt
      That will never spill again
      But in your linen robes
      We want you now
      We want you now
      You could never ask for more than that

      You are my offering
      Your soul transcends
      The centuries of pain
      Your misery in life
      Is your ecstasy in
      Come fulfill the prophecy
      With our demons of debauchery
      This madness will never cease
