A Sorcerer’s Pledge Songtext
von Candlemass

Wanna see all of your hands, c′mon!
I wanna hear your hands, c'mon!

Time, oh, time stands still in these ancient halls
Only the castle itself can tell what it keeps
Dark are the secrets between these walls
Hidden in shadows of death, while the sorcerer sleeps

Where is the morning?
Where is the sun? Oh
A thousand years of midnight
The sunrise is gone

An old man marked by a life so long
Is sleeping so sweet while his magic is growing so strong
Waiting still for new times to come
A thousands years to see if he has won

And I ask you baby
Where is the morning?
Where is the sun? Sad sun?
A thousand years of midnight
The sunrise is gone, it′s gone


Let's see you fucking go, c'mon
Yeah, ow!
Hey, hey!
Hey, hey!
What has he done?
Why is he sleeping so long?
He wants to live forever
Soon is he young
When will he open his eyes?
When is he strong enough to rule, oh no

Back in our time goes the legend
Of a sorcerer so old
He drank the blood of the virgin to be reborn

Soon a tyrant will conquer
So spoke the wise
Of the day when the sorcerer will rise

Rise for me Birmingham!
Blood

Blood is his wine
The sorcerer is cheating on time
And he′ll be stronger than before

Cursed be the sun
The women will weep for his fun
In the name of his magic so strong

Back in our time goes the legend
Of a sorcerer so old
He drank the blood of the virgin to be reborn


Soon a tyrant will conquer
So spoke the wise
Of the day when the sorcerer will rise
Rise

Can you feel what you′re supposed to do now?
I wanna hear you cry real loud
Louder!
Everybody, it's your last chance to have some fun
All you in the back, c′mon!
Let's fucking go!

A thousand years have gone
Armageddon hasn′t come, come
Only the cry of a child echoes in the world
Back goes time
As the stars are passing by
Nothing remains of this foolish man except his fate
Rise

I want you to sing with me
Sing out to neighbour, yeah
Oh! C'mon!
Oh! C′mon!
Oh! Louder!
Oh! C'mon!

(Oh!)
You guys are stealing the show here
We love you, this is fucking great
We'll give you two chances to do it really loud and to break down the house, sing after me, okay?

Oh! Loud!
(Oh!)
That′s your last chance
Oh! Last chance
(Oh!)
Fucking great, we love you
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Yeah! The sorcerer reached the end, reached the end of time, yes!
You′re fucking great!

All great!
Thank you very much, Birmingham!
