The Ritual Lyrics
Say hello again, my friends
I've got to go
The ritual calls to me
Screams twist in harmony
Blinding lights reveal
Thoughts that should not be
The ritual calls to me
Silent insanity
You really thought you'd never
Be the one who bleeds
It's all so clear to me now
Why can't they see ?
Revelations breaking through
The truth distorts
Untimely accident
Your precious mind is lost
Try to regain again my friend
Your sanity
The ritual calls to me
Melodic agony
You really never thought you would never
Be the one who bleeds
It's all so clear to me now
Why they can't see ?
Fry away your mind
Walk behind the blind
Kill yourself killing time
Oooh, what'cha gonna do
When your life is sold
To a world so cold ?
Hey, what'cha gonna say
When you're on your way
On your darkest day ?
Hey
Darkest day
Say goodbye again, my friends
I'm coming home
The ritual calls to me
Distant reality
Unseen images expose
What I can't see
The ritual calls to me
Won't ever set me free
You really thought you'd never
Be the one who bleeds
It's all so clear to me now
Why can't you see ?
Fry away your mind
Walk behind the blind
Kill yourself killing time
I've got to go
The ritual calls to me
Screams twist in harmony
Thoughts that should not be
The ritual calls to me
Silent insanity
Be the one who bleeds
It's all so clear to me now
Why can't they see ?
The truth distorts
Untimely accident
Your precious mind is lost
Your sanity
The ritual calls to me
Melodic agony
Be the one who bleeds
It's all so clear to me now
Why they can't see ?
Walk behind the blind
Kill yourself killing time
When your life is sold
To a world so cold ?
When you're on your way
On your darkest day ?
Darkest day
I'm coming home
The ritual calls to me
Distant reality
What I can't see
The ritual calls to me
Won't ever set me free
Be the one who bleeds
It's all so clear to me now
Why can't you see ?
Fry away your mind
Walk behind the blind
Kill yourself killing time

I really have no idea what is this song about and I'd rly want to hear someone else's opinion. I always thought this song was about an actual ritual, but now I'm starting to think it's about drug addiction..
Anyone? :D
really know one fucking comment on this crazy good song i guess not many testament fans here but any ways i thinks the song is about trying to find your self by steeping out of your mind or my 2 guess is that is about some kind of cult and your not sure y u go or the reasons for it but u go anyways and your losing your self and every one u love
It is definitely about any kind of addiction. To me though it's always been about LSD. Try to regain again my friend your sanity, the truth distorts, your precious mind is lost. Sounds like trippin to me. Also the tone of the music very trippy. Fry away your mind. We use to call trippin frying. There is also a ritualistic feel to doing LSD at least in my experience. The whole album in my opinion deals with addiction. Let Go of My World, As the Seasons Grey definitely about battling addictions.
