CANDLEMASS LYRICS

1. 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


2. Seven Silver Keys


You're hiding in your hall, alone with your hunger
Can't break through the wall, of the prison within
No reason to be proud, don't go so near it
You bow your head in shame, afraid you will fear it

Open up your dreams
Seven silver keys
To open up your dreams
You need seven silver keys

A war against yourself, you win or you lose here
Something new to fear or nothing to do
Paradise hotel, bombs in your cellar
Mr clean'n'safe, your guvenor of hell

Open up your dreams
Seven silver keys
To open up your dreams
You need seven silver keys

The vultures of the mind, the vampire guerilla
Invite the underground, give in to your self
Let loose the hounds of Hades, that means you can kill her
Unlock the secret wells, your life can begin


3. Assassin Of The Light


Mask of shadow's sole, liebst the night he owns
The grace of the beast, the solace of the sleet
A sea of colder rain, gives him life again
To hunt mortality, precious pearls of grief

Murder draped in dusk, the thief's not one of us
Came here with the shrouds, sweet talks, charms and bows
Feeds on your sorrow, drawn to the horror

Welcome... Assassin of light
How did you know, I didn't know
Save me, prince of the night
You kill and go, you steal the show
Blackout
Lights out

Out of blue thin air
He is in my lair
Say that I'm the one
Provides me with a gun
Soft like the willow
Leaves no trace
Hands me a pillow
Over my face

I'm excited so, the secret guest just showed
Felt that I was sad, the little wish I had
He stood behind the door, the hands of evermore
Lord of the weeping shadow, helped me see green meadows


4. Copernicus


Our names are written on the stars on heaven's tree
Yes, nine by nine they die, just like you and me
These peerless eyes look down, giving us our choices
Each one calls out, a universe of voices

These are the ancient fathers, the laws that bind us all
White jewels of mystery, mirrors for our souls
They spoke of life and death, love and history
Today the stars are for fools and vanity

And there's Orion and there's the Zodiac
If you look close, they're needles in a stack
And you saw, in your telescope on earth
Copernicus, the order of the worlds

Evening caress
Always yearning
I must confess
The stars aren't burning

Copernicus

The sky is full of shining crosses for our sins
Each one a monument for what ends and what begins
Small emerald satellites, orbiting so fast
Will they be gone tomorrow, just like painted glass?

If I had wishes, I would shout to you and scream
But now I realize, you're like young dying streams
I'm in the real world, with people, crises and scars
Copernicus, I don't care about your stars

Evening caress
Always yearning
I must confess
The stars aren't burning


5. The Man Who Fell From The Sky


[Instrumental]


6. Witches


Someone stole the starlight from the backside of your hand
Weak without the magic you lay passed out in the sand
With controls set for night flights when witches ruled the world
In a twinkling moment you see cockroaches and crows

Go behind the great clouds if you want to stay the same
In nothing land you'll perish when they whisper aloud your name
A window full of trauma stares you in the face
You know it's time to scream now and leave this fucking place

So drunk and misled, face down in the mindless gutter
You puked and you bled, the lifeblood of the holy mother
Lame and astray, bloated in the crimson river
Needless to say, we are here to burn and wither

Come with me, walk with me
The voice of doom and new adventures
Love with me, love with you
The endless trip is what you're after
Blinding light, burning light
From excess to bitter laughter
Happiness, loneliness
Kneel before the disaster master

The night is almost over and still there you are
Half dead, numb and shipwrecked like a shooting star
Surrounded by black witches, you don't know what to do

Weak without the magic, the madness is killing you


7. Born In A Tank


They buried me here in the winter
To an iron box I checked in
I've never heard birds or seen daylight
And nothing will ever come in
I'm happy to lie here in darkness
Naked safe, undisturbed
Floating blind in water
In my little world of dirt

I live underground, born in a tank, on a day I remember
Buried alive, like a dog, late December

I think there was a sound from a battle
And once I heard somebody scream
Today a knock on the door
It was just another bad dream
They want to keep me secure here
From a world in chaos I'm safe
I'm better off down in my small crate
Protected by maggots and rats

I live underground, born in a tank, on a day I remember
Buried alive, like a dog, late December
I live underground, born in a tank, in the midst of nowhere
Buried alive, like a dog, I was dumped and left there


8. Spellbreaker


Walking 'round and 'round in circles
Locked inside himself
The funny farm where he can't hurt us
Or what we all believe
Mute and deaf with no obsessions
A broken watch he got
He's the one that got no questions
Not a word to breathe

And there you see that he flies
Across the room like a swan
The colours sparkle and change
Stars are born 'round a flashing sun

Then it all just stopped, the temperature it dropped
It was so quiet I couldn't hear the sound of grief no more
We walked into the room, the small and padded room
I looked down on/at the man that lay/laid crying on the floor

The Mother of Life is a Whore

Always drooling walking backwards
Never dries his tears
Come and see the man of miracles
But please don't come so near
Writing wierd stuf slow and patient
I think it's something deep
Then he tries some levitation
Before he disappears

A rainy day you too might meet him
Give him mercy please
It won't be long until we'll need him
And all that's beautiful
If he speaks the world will tremble
A dream of love we'll see
He's our all the cosmic centre
We are spinning 'round


9. The Day And The Night


I woke up with a scream in my throat
Something evil I saw then I choked
Never thought I would dream of LaVey
And never see the light of day

Then the dawn reeked of swine like a slut
I'm in bed as the light goes so dim
And the globe of ascent turned to sut
A new night came rolling in

When you come I greet you
We are the same
And we make love
In the dark

You can hide, I see you
The night's alive, I know
To survive, I need you
And you need me

You're cruel and corrupt
Please make it stop
I should be fast asleep but I'm still up
Nowhere to run
I know it has begun
I'm not sure I'll see tomorrow's sun

I ride the mare
To hell and back
In this madness
I sweat and burn

Every night I'm sleepless
Every hour a spell
Every minute a lost life
A year in hell

Yes, the day is the czar of the night
And the moon is the sun's other side
So the night is the scar of the day
And the shit won't go away

Sometimes long and wonderful
Sometimes cool and full of soul
Sometimes crude and grim and foul
The day is warm, the night is cold so cold

Lost in the dark
I'm lost in the dark


10. Mars And Volcanos


[Bonus track]

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, oh 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.
