Candlemass - Under The Oak Lyrics

Deep was my anguish for these 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 rested 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, oh, oh

It was a time, when love was mine, oh, oh
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, sign
Oh, a crimson sky, bless my eyes
Oh, oh, up goes the sun, my time has come
