The Ritual
Ov Lustra Lyrics

Oh, how I feel the wind pass through me
The singer is in a natural setting and feels the wind pass through them.

Oh how the ground beneath my feet quakes
The ground shakes beneath the singer's feet.

Cry aloud to sun, arms outstretched
The singer is calling out to the sun with their arms outstretched.

Waves breaking on tired cliffs

The radiant glow of the sun blotted out by clouds

Call forth the storm

Steal me away and tear me asunder

The lineament of her face, so natural, as the air I breathe

Her luminous glow ever bright within my heart

For wrongs must be made right

What fear do you hold to exile

The ground begins to heave as if to cast me out

Hope and wander now lost to the tide

Forsaken am I

In my journey shall I die

All hope and wander are lost to the tide

Deliver me unto her grace

Cloud breaks over the horizon, marring its beauty
The beauty of the horizon is ruined by passing clouds.

Darkening all around, extinguishing the rays of the sun
The sun's light is fading and the darkness is spreading.

Waters below growing dark and rage
The artist observes the water becoming turbulent and dark.

Take me in
The singer wants to be taken into the turbulent and dark waters below.

A violent rage opens below
A violent turbulence is emerging beneath the surface.

Calling me forth

I can hear her voice call to me

Come with me now oh gentle wind

The biting cold that rips and tears at my seams
The singer feels the painful and damaging effects of the cold and wind around them.

Alas the storm
The artist cries out in lament for the storm.
