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

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

[Chorus:]

"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

[Chorus:]

"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"
