Candlemass Tribute EP

The Well Of Souls

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 its 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 just 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 because this tale's now to end,
Don't believe our world is as safe as we pretend

Black Dwarf

Serpent rising on the horizon, and right here in my abode
Full sensation, a manifestation, I'm petrified I cannot go
Black and white day glow, cold creeping fright show a star of infinite mass
Foul corroding and head exploding, existence reduced in a flash
Diamond of a million flies illusion of hope
Black lizard in disguise hate fiend on dope
Dwarf The Black Dwarf

Slow death descending, pain never-ending, Astaroth won't go away
So radiating now always hating, this liar commands you to stay
Depressions and crisis, hopeless advices, suicide, acid rain
Controlling the masses, misguiding our asses, bringing me stain on stain
Freak show from outer hell psychos create
Heroes or villains low the choices you make
Dwarf The Black Dwarf

Have you seen the poison queen, sitting on your shoulder?
Don't you know what she says, can you not control her?
Read the hex like you read the stories, god is dead and you have no worries
Forget ambition, fuck the vision, kill the lights and go to sleep
The stalker is stalking and talking and talking, colossal power and wit
Pathetic, unethical and yes unaesthetic, oh boy, you're so full of shit
You're playing me tricks, six hundred sixty-six, the devil dictating the news
I can't keep resisting, black dwarf's insisting, I'm so afraid of you!!
Diamond of a million flies illusion of hope
Black lizard in disguise hate fiend on dope
Freak show from outer hell psychos create
Heroes or villains low the choices you make
Dwarf The Black Dwarf

From the filth of the crucifix, to the stench of headlines
The dwarf is there, his ugly face is blocking the sunshine
No taboos and no distinctions, fantasy creating fiction
And no one knows what to believe, so kill the lights and go to sleep

Mars And Volcanos

Gasping, groaning alone, I fell to the Earth,
But did the red moon I know it happened too soon.
Circling sun, life goes on I'm alive and I still want more.
Mars at war, Venus whore take me now to the electric shore.

Last night kissing bullets it hurts God, so it hurts.
I bargained with the Devil before I met with the storm.
Circling sun, life goes on I'm alive and I still want more.
Mars at war, Venus whore take me now to the electric shore.

Trumpets roaring the dead hails and a jackyl invades my bed.
Black deaths under the night sun I take all the Valium I find.
Circling sun, life goes on I'm alive and I still want more.
Mars at war, Venus whore take me now to the electric shore

Emperor Of The Void

I am the king, of the great islands of grey
Windswept and scattered, bent and confused
My castle is my ruin, the mouldering grave
Where the memory fades along with the mourning cry of the mother

Who counts the wounds, who sees the hunger, the flight of denial
The fibres the nerves, the raptures and bursts, from arteric to cell
Continuously repeating, the hymn of life and death
And the holy whore, desecrated in desperation

I am the king. The ruler of the grey Islands
I'm the emperor of the void
I am grey. The weakened ruler of these islands.
I'm the emperor of the void

I stand before destruction, touching the stone of my realm
So dignified...unmerciful, without empathy
You saw my birth, an ornament in your grain
You see my death, terrible and divine

 Lucifer Rising

In the dunes of Egyptian sand in the cities and small towns
The word goes from land to land the dawn of enlightenment is here
Blessed the children of doom as they dance on the meadows
Poet and merchant and witch you know the master is here
Lucifer, Lucifer, Lucifer Rising

The caravan reaches the port and they sail down the river
To praise and witness the birth of the king the one that will come
Black worship in church and home seek their way to power
And free them from chains of Rome to shout the name of The Lord
Lucifer, Lucifer, Lucifer Rising

In the dunes of Egyptian sand in the cities and small towns
The word goes from land to land the dawn of enlightenment is here
Blessed the children of doom as they dance on the meadows
Poet and merchant and witch you know the master is here
Lucifer, Lucifer, Lucifer Rising

Psalms For The Dead

Is there a sun there in your hand a little light that battles with itself
Is there a message in the sand that tells me how to set the world in flames?
Do people cry or is it rain do we care... do we count the stains?
When will the sunrise stay a day laugh and shine, or is it all the same?
PSALMS FOR THE DEAD SONG FOR THE LIVING AND A WREATH FOR ABSENT FRIENDS

So tell me... fools and troubadours, can a simple stream grow into a flood?
A beggar man, become a president and a sip of wine be shared... and thick as blood?
Idols, gods... dictators and divine is this the path where blind men lead the blind?
What is love, but only a dream those pains and pyres were meant to set us free!
When time is gone, the page is turned the door is closed and all is done and said
The band has played... the spotlight's burned ALL THAT'S LEFT ARE PSALMS FOR THE DEAD
