Solitude Songtext
von Candlemass

The doomiest band on earth, Candlemass
We are Candlemass from Stockholm, Sweden
And we′re gonna play a song for you
From our first album, which was called "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus"
And it's a real heavy one
I think you know this one
It′s called "Solitude"
I wanna see your hands out there, come on
Everybody's hands

I'm sitting here alone in darkness, waiting to be free
Lonely and forlorn I am crying
I long for my time to come, death means just life
Please, let me die in solitude

Hey-hey
Hey-hey
Let me die in solitude


Hate is my only friend, pain is my father
Torment is delight to me
Death is my sanctuary, I seek it with pleasure
Please, let me die in solitude

Receive my sacrifice, my lifeblood is exhausted
No one gave love and understanding
Hear these words, vilifiers and pretenders
Please, let me die in solitude

Earth to earth
Ashes to ashes
And dust to
Earth to earth
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust

I′m seeing your hands there

Sitting here alone in darkness, waiting to be free
Lonely and forlorn, I am crying
I long for my time to come, death means just life
Please, let me die in solitude


Earth to earth
Ashes to ashes
And dust to
Earth to earth
Ashes to ashes
And dust to

Earth to earth
Ashes to ashes
And dust to
Earth to earth
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust

And please, let me die in solitude
Thank you very much, Eindhoven
