Gothic Ritual for Thanatos

A candle lit at bedside burning a blackened cold  
A flame of black fire the gothic aura personified  
Setting the scene with the blood and knife ready  
To summon forth Thanatos and his embrace  
Into the room to take the soul away  
That has no longer any use to it’s bearer  
 
A tongue spoken of an ancient breed  
A dead language reawakened as the spell is preformed  
The summoning of Thanatos for his services  
All at the cost of blood all that is needed  
For him to take the soul off to the Valley  
While mankind simply sees a simple cultist suicide  
The caster knows that bliss is awaiting him  
At the other side for he has paid his respects  
 
A wand lit at the tip portraying it’s elemental might  
Though with the icy flames it carries a dark power  
An incantation spoken to summon him  
As signs and symbols of him are written in black fire  
Upon the sheets of the bed that is the scene  
For Thanatos to take a new soul off into it’s resting place  
 
Once Thanatos has arrived to the realm  
Of the humans it is time to make the final ties  
An homage to Thanatos in praise is uttered  
As the blessed steel tastes the flesh releasing the soul  
While letting the blood and life force slips away  
A new soul is rising up to the realm of the gods  
For Thanatos has used his own blade once again
