Candlemass Black Stone Wielder Lyrics

Black Stone Wielder Lyrics

The rain kept on falling
and darkened the sky
the dawn was to come with
the sunrise
Revealing the shadows
that passed through the mist
the
torchlight was flickering, the storm
was chasing them on
A procession of
dark coats
followed the star
foretold to come since ages
In silence
they walked on
Crossing the lands
On their way to Bethlehem, to break
the
chains of the spell
Stone, they worshipped the stone
In generation
from father to son
A star, a star is to come
to light them way to the one
who is born
The leader he knelt there
to greet the newborn
holding his
pendant before him
Teardrops were falling from his eyes as he said
<  don't do as I did long ago>>
Into the
sundown he returned
the moon was rising and heaven burned
like shadows
disappeared the men
and the black stone wielders were never seen
again
Stone, they wielded the stone
In generation from father to son
A
star, a star is to come
and light them the way to the one who is born
They
came across the western sea
with powers greater than needed
The wizards
commanded the lightning
every creature knelt in for their will
But they
wielded the black stone with evil
and their evil was cast back on
them
condamned to praise god forever
'til his son was born to deliver
