Candlemass - The Well Of Souls

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

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
Just 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 as we pretend

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
