Ritual - Bolt Thrower

Remembering promises

Once made but now unspoken

Born of child like minds

These shadows of the past are now forsaken

From the dawn of your first day

To this death bed on which you lay

To survive we must comply

With the ritual of your life

Can you remember things we said

The dreams our expectations

Like ashes scattered in the wind

There is no recollection

Throughout the passing years

Faith will allay your fears

Follow the holy rites

In the ritual of your life

Life an endless ritual

Continuation perpetual

Throughout the passing years

Faith will allay your fears

Follow the holy rites

In the ritual of you 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
