about

This is a song based on the 1971 Spanish horror film of the same name. There are many like it but this one is ours. In fact, this is our first-ever original song, written in the late summer/early fall of 2007, and first performed live at our second gig in November '07. Many have drawn comparisons between this song and Slayer's "Angel of Death," but I think that's just because of the opening falsetto. If anything, the arrangement flows along the same lines as Sepultura's "Antichrist," owing to our ambition (at the time) to replicate that band's Bestial/Morbid era of musicianship.

lyrics

Renegade clergy
Bind the fresh virgin
Draw your swords, invert the cross
Cut her flesh, ritual starts

Sacrifice, blood is sipped
From her thighs, neck, and tits
Wish for immortality
Granted group fatality

When midnight tolls
Satan’s curse
Reveals the Tombs
Of the Blind Dead

(Solo: JT)

Rise and ride, blackened templar
Commanded by your Eternal Elder
Eyes rotted, hunt by sound
Listen for the telltale pounding

(Solo: Tony)
(Solo: JT)

Don’t try to hide, they don’t have to see
Your life’s betrayed by your own heartbeat
Don’t think you’re safe at the sight of the sun
They’ll hunt by night and day till the job’s done

(Solo: Tony)
