Under The Oak

Candlemass

...Deep was my anguish infor these words

they froze my blood and changed my soul

the master has spoken, the truth, not any lies

The Devil gives and evil takes

the thing in life that man forsakes

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 infor 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 sweeped out

by the hand of our Lord

I cried for the ones I lost

Midnight in paradise, grief

away goes my hope

I cried for the ones I 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
