Candlemass
Under the Oak
[Verse 1]
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?

[Verse 2]
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"

[Chorus]
Oh, it was a time when love was mine
Oh, now it's time to sacrifice

[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
"Hear my prayers climbing on the clouds above
Silent cry, reach the inner halls of truth
Give me a sign

[Chorus]
Oh, a crimson sky bless my eyes
Oh, up goes the sun, my time has come
It has come"
