Under The Oak

by Candlemass· from Epicus Doomicus Metallicus

...Deep was my anguish and for 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 in 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 sweeped out by the hand of our Lord I cried for the ones I have 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! Sign! A crimson sky, bless my eyes Up goes the sun, my time has come
