CANDLEMASS LYRICS

1. The Pendulum

Centuries of sleep
The spear of God is still
Waiting for your love and your will

The pendulum divine
Weapon of cosmic kind
A hammer that will hit you from behind

Oh, the pendulum it turns
It twists and it churns... it burns!
Oh the pendulum will fly
It is black, it is white... it is blind!
Oh, the pendulum is mine

The balance that you are
Omen from the stars
The secrets that you hold will be told

Continents, they sink
The crowning of a king
The pendulum's the nave of everything

Oh, the pendulum it turns
It twists and it churns... it burns!
Oh the pendulum will fly
It is black, it is white... it is blind!
Oh, the pendulum is mine

Asylum, sweet home
Chained and alone
But soon the walls will crack stone by stone

Fever in my brain
Vengeance from the void
I give to you the power to destroy

Oh, the pendulum it turns
It twists and it churns... it burns!
Oh the pendulum will fly
It is black, it is white... it is blind!
Oh, the pendulum will swing
Free from all sin... Sing....
Oh, the pendulum is true
It moves and grooves, soothes
Oh, the pendulum's for fools!

2. Snakes Of Goliath (Demo)

Eager... warrior... thief inside the temple of Bel
Prime venom floats like bane all through the orb
Kneel before the savage sword

City... wayward... thief
Sombre imperial deeds
You've reached the chamber of the ancient born

Can't move your feet
The parasites speech

Pantheon of the mutants, where all the good men die
Again your mighty sword will glow, and the leper god will cry
His wings were wide, of cosmic fires, the colour of the skies
Guardian of the severed cross, with the snakes of Goliath

Want the secret of the stars?

Thunderclouds and storms
Battle cries of triumph
A king will be called
Eat the snakes of Goliath

3. Sub Zero (Demo)

4. Aftershock (Demo)

[Instrumental]

5. Porcelain Skull (Demo)

Black magic affection
When the summer's gone
Countdown to my destruction

It's a strange sensation
Like a passenger dark
Manifestation

Eyes that see me
Eyes that haunt me
Drags me back into the dark
I try to grab it
I try to stab it
I see the porcelain skull

I wake up screaming
Some demons scheming?
Do I want the darkness to see me?

I buried you deep there
A funeral for a friend
Six feet under
You came back again

Eyes that see me
Eyes that haunt me
Drags me back into the dark
I try to grab it
I try to stab it
I see the porcelain skull

So wrong and twisted
I need an exorcism
Don't we all?
I am so afraid
I'm pulled away
Into the porcelain skull

Black magic affection
When the summer's gone
Countdown to my destruction

Eyes that see me
Eyes that haunt me
Drags me back into the dark
I try to grab it
I try to stab it
I see the porcelain skull

So wrong and twisted
I need an exorcism
Don't we all?
I am so afraid
I'm pulled away
Into the porcelain skull

6. The Cold Room (Demo)

[Instrumental]
