Bloodshed and Triumph Lyrics

Shine of the blade,
mirror of the future,
through the flesh into the chest,
sacrificial divination

In the shadow of the wicker man
severed human heads,
arch druid's prophecies,
enemies shall bleed

Bloodshed
and triumph,
bloodshed
and triumph

As limbs convulse,
as the victim falls,
gashing of blood, way of destiny,
sacrificial divination

In the shadow of the wicker man
severed human heads,
arch druid's prophecies,
enemies shall bleed

Bloodshed
and triumph,
bloodshed
and triumph

Nemeton
ancient holy place,
altars in its midst

Images
of the gods,
victims burn in flames

Ritualized decapitation,
sacrificial divination

In the shadow of the wicker man
severed human heads,
arch druid's prophecies,
enemies shall bleed

Bloodshed
and triumph,
bloodshed
and triumph

And triumph
