Under the Oak Songtext
von Candlemass

Let me see your hands in the air

Deep was my anguish for those words
They froze my blood and changed my soul
The master has spoken, the truth, not any lies

The Devil gives and evil takes
The thing in life that man forsakes
A throne in hell, a price or a sacrifice
Yeah

Still the wind was blowing soft
And gentle here under the oak
Which gave me shelter and rest for my trial

I′m not strong, weak is my mind
A new beginning, where to find?
I'm the last one on earth, please forgive us our crime, come on

Oh-oh, ah-ah
It was a time when love was mine
Oh-oh, ah-ah
Now it′s time to sacrifice, it's time


My heart, bleeding for my race
The traces of mankind sweeped out
By the hand of our Lord, now they're dead
I cried for the ones I lost
Midnight in paradise, grief
Away goes my hope

I cried for the ones I lost

Hear my prayers
Climbing on the clouds above
Silent cry
Reach the inner halls of truth
Give me a sign
We need you to sing, Stockholm
Come on

Oh-oh, ah-ah
A crimson sky, bless my eyes (sing it)
Oh-oh, ah-ah
Up goes the sun, my time has come
It has come

Oh-oh
