Candlemass - The Well Of Souls Lyrics

I bind unto myself today
The strong name of the trinity
Crypt of despair the old man is there
Forming a circle of magic and prayers

Guarding the well the black hole to hell
It's evil must never arise I can tell
Holy mission forever he's sworn

To protect our world from hatred and scorn
He will not fear though the Sabbath is near
Twelve strokes for Candlemass darkness descends

Break the circle and all hell comes loose
The well of souls must stay sealed
Ancient force of light against the dark
The well of souls must stay sealed

Black wind turns out the candles
The air grows cold and threatening
Dark shadows wicked laughter
Brings darkness to your heart

Behold the goat of Mendes
Red burning evil eyes
Lord's prayer holy water
Only faith can save you now

Disharmony, satanic serenade
Black symphony, a tribute to the plague
The twisted souls awakened by the chanting
Unchained at last, rise, they will now rise

A new day's dawn, holy light
Sunlight redeems
Slays the dark, warms and heals, makes you
See nightmares' terror is back in your dreams

Sleep well my friend 'cause
This tale's now to end, don't
Believe our world is as safe's we pretend

Break the circle and all hell comes loose
The well of souls must stay sealed
Ancient force of light against the dark
The well of souls must stay sealed
