Lyrics Candlemass – Under The Oak
Text:
Deep was my anguish for those words
they froze my blood and chained my soul
the master had spoken, the truth, not any lies
The devil gives and evil takes
a throne in hell, a price or a sacrifice?
Still the wind was blowing soft
and gentle here under the oak
which gave me shelter and rest for my trial
«I’m not strong, weak is my mind
a new beginning, where to find?
I’m the last one on earth, please forgive us our crime»
It was a time, when love was mine
now it’s time, to sacrifice
My heart, bleeding for my race
the traces of mankind swept out by the hands of our lord
I cried, for the ones I had lost
Midnight in paradise, grief, away goes my hope
I cried for, the ones I had lost
«Hear my prayers, climbing on the clouds above
Silent cry, reach the inner halls of truth
Give me a sign!
A crimson sky, bless my eyes
up goes the sun, my time has come
(It has come)»
