Uffe Pettersson comments: βItβs always special when it comes to cover versions. It would be a natural thing for us to do a cover of a Vio-lence tune or perhaps something from Forbiddenβs old catalogue. But too predictable! So we set our sights on something Swedish and more unusual. βRitualβ is an old Ghost-classic and kind of a cult song from their first album. From our point of view it was a perfect song to turn into a thrashy track and itβs quite catchy with a strong chorus. You can also detect a resemblance in the lyrics for all of us who are fans of the Omen movies. Enjoy!β

Lyrics:
Tonight weβ²re summoned
For a divine cause
Remembrance
No
But for their future loss
This chapel of ritual
Smells of dead human sacrifices
From the altar...
Bedouins and nomads
Carried through the times
Through pestilences and famines
These ancient scrolls of rhymes
"Our fallen angel vexed
Was banished from the sky
Recite now from the text
Pray for all to die"
This chapel of ritual
Smells of dead human sacrifices from the altar bed
On this night of ritual
Evoking our master
To procreate the unholy bastard
"Our father who art in hell
Unhallowed be thy name
Cursed be the sons and daughters
Of thine nemesis whom are to blame
Thy kingdom
Come
Nema
Tonight we're summoned for his unholy fiend
Now celebrate
The end
This chapel of
Ritual
Smells of dead human sacrifices from the altar bed
On this night of
Ritual
Evoking our master
To procreate the unholy bastard
