It has come
It has come
Fire-ritual
and bloodfeast
a banner of heads on spikes
the black surge
and Toussaint in
the Fort de Jour
dying with cold
It has come
It has come
Firestorm
and bloodrage
a sky of flame
the black surge
and Toussaint in
the Fort de Jour
dying with cold
It has come
It has come
Fireceremony
and bloodrush
an insane sunrise
the black surge
and Toussaint in
the Fort de Jour
dying with cold
It has come
It has come
Ashes to Ashes
Blood to Dust
Ashes to Ashes
Blood to Dust
and Toussaint in
the Fort de Jour
dying with hope
