Candlemass – Under The Oak Lyrics

Rock

Deep was my anguish infor these words
They froze my blood and chained my soul
The master has spoken, the truth, not any lies
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 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

Oh-oh, oh-oh
It was a time, when love was mine
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Now it's time to sacrifice

My heart, bleeding for my race
The traces of mankind sweeped out
By the hands 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 have lost

See my tears flowing like the river Styx
See my soul crumbling in the seas of sin
Hear my prayers
Climbing on the clouds above
Silent cry
Reach the inner halls of truth

What duels in my nightmares?
Why can't I be strong?
Is my conscience so bad?
Am I afraid of life or death?
Now it's time to realize
That life is worth a lot
Son of starlight, meet your fate

Oh-oh, oh-oh
A crimson sky, bless my eyes
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Up goes the sun, my time has come
