CANDLEMASS LYRICS

1. House Of Doom

Darker than amber
Dark like your bones
Clearer than crystal
In the death of the sun
Built on the ruins
Of the black angel’s tomb
The house of madness
Awake, burning for you

Welcome to the house of doom
A church of evil, a labyrinth of rooms
We are the children of the moon
We keep the dark alive in the house of doom

Like a finger to the gods
The tower it stands
Exhibition of evil
Monumental and grand
Floor on floor of fear
Temptation, decay
I’m cold, sinister
I’m wicked and strange

Welcome to the house of doom
A church of evil, a labyrinth of rooms
We are the children of the moon
We keep the dark alive in the house of doom

Like a statement of the sick
A mansion of grief
If you walk into the house
You will never leave

Welcome to the house of doom
A church of evil, a labyrinth of rooms
We are the children of the moon
We keep the dark alive in the house of doom

2. Flowers Of Deception

Oh you broke the magic mirror
Million pieces of sin
Each tell a story
Each tell a tale
Of divine suffering

Oh so wrong and so fatal
Like a vassal of pain
It's the smell of betrayal
It's the taste of taint

Oh flowers of deception
The spreading disease
It's a human infection
From you to me

Oh so wrong and so fatal
Like a vassal of pain
It's the smell of betrayal
It's the taste of taint

The flowers of deception
The flowers of deception
There's no protection
The flowers of deception

If I drown in the lake of fire
Will I take the open hand
Ah that takes me from my torment
To a place in Satan's land

The flowers of deception
Was given just to me
Rivers of eruption
Lies and lies and greed

Seeds of imperfection
What's life without a flaw
But secrets build more secrets
And distract becomes the law

Oh you broke the magic mirror
Million pieces of sin
Each tell a story
Each tell a tale
Of divine suffering

Oh so wrong and so fatal
Like a vassal of pain
It's the smell of betrayal
The taste of taint

The flowers of deception
The flowers of deception
No, there's no protection
The flowers of deception

3. Fortuneteller

A secret basement hidden away from the world
She said I'm chasing what I can't have or what I can't do

The fortune, the fortune, the fortuneteller [2x]

The cards have spoken
I must go where no angels go
My will is broken
I'm the one that I don't wanna know

The fortune, the fortune, the fortuneteller [2x]

I saw the future, with a fateful gesture of the hand
I think it's really evil, make me do what you can't understand

The fortune, the fortune, the fortuneteller [2x]

The fortune, the fortune, the fortuneteller [2x]

And one last question:
Why is happiness just smoke in the blue?
Oh, fortuneteller, please tell me the bloody truth

4. Dolls On A Wall

[Instrumental]
