Candlemass - Black Stone Weilder lyrics

the dawn was to come with the sunrise

Revealing the shadows that passed through the mist,

the torch light was flickering

the storm was chasing them on

A procession of dark coats followed the star

foretold to come since ages

In silence they walked on crossing their lands

on the way to Bethlehem to break the chains of the spell

Stone, they worshipped the stone

in generation from father to son

A star, a star is to come

to light the way to the one who is born

The leader he knelt there to greet the new born

holding his pendant before him

tear drops were falling from his eyes as he said

"Take the stone and use it well

don't do as I did long ago"

Went into the sundown, never returned

The moon was rising and the heaven burned

Like shadows disappeared the men

and the black stone weilders were never seen again

Stone, they weilded the stone

in generation from father to son

A star, a star is to come

to light the way to the one who is born

Black stone weilder is born

They came across the western sea

with powers greater than needed

The wizards commanded the lightning

every creature knelt before their will

But they weilded the black stone with evil

and their evil was cast back on them

Damned to praise God forever

till His son was born to deliver

Stone, they weilded the stone

in generation from father to son

A star, a star is to come

to light the way to the one who is born
