Candlemass Pt 4 Under The Oak Lyrics

Pt 4 Under The Oak Lyrics

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

the things 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 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
