Et Vigilat Diabolus
This coming Halloween will open wide the gates
For lost shades of all shapes to fuel their hate
When the veil between the living and dead break
But from the headless hessian to your boogeyman
I seek no mere specter
With thirteen black candles
Around the five pointed star
The moon shines brightly
As flames flicker in breeze
I speak to you
Dominus, Lucifer
Obsecro ut hic existunt,
Cecidit de cisternis desperationis
Et nos, ut inferat damnationem
My lord, Lucifer
I beg you to come forth
From the fallen pits of despair
And bring damnation to us
With this blood offering
Cast your sigil on the wall
The blood drips slowly
On meager sacrifices
Still I urge you
Dominus, Lucifer
Et flamma de excedas
Mundus autem tua subter
Et amplexabitur me ut filium
My lord, Lucifer
Will you step from the flame
The world will tremble beneath your steps
And embrace me as a son
The shadowed room goes cold despite the fires lit
Things from the pit drool and shit on the spit
The sacrifice spinning lazily, cooking
Preparing a glorious feast for our fallen lord
I am no mere human
Feverishly speak words
Incantations long and lost
‘Til you hear my call
My summoning of Father
For possession
Dominus, Lucifer
Obsecro ut venias ad
Quia hoc proprium ac mortali dolor
Vestra animam comedere
My lord, Lucifer
I beseech you to come
And take this mortal coil for your own
My soul is yours to eat
Deprimeris, Vigil
I urge you
Angelico, Daemon
By all rights
Bellua, Draconem
I belong to you
O magnum diaboli!
O magnum daemonem!
Shine your light on me
O Lucifer!

Wow! Incredibly powerful ... I know it's a departure from your usual rhyme schemes but somehow it gives this piece more weight.
The Latin works incredibly well. Great touch using the "dead language" to call upon the king of the dead.

thanks, Lobo. I'm never sure if the Latin I include ever works for anyone else
