Wizard of the Vortex Songtext
von Candlemass

Embers of evil coming our way
Where do you hide?
What do you see?
Spiral skies, black gravitation
Can you trust the Savante Mezmerist?

Friend of darkness in the chapel
Your magic′s cold and worn, and so stained
A hidden key, haze of amber
The gate to Hell opens today

Wizard of the vortex
Giving your soul the spark of it all
Guardian of the godless
Stared into the pit, saw the abyss
Wizard of the vortex
Spreading your wings, down, down, down, down


Down, down, down

Did you surrender when the demon rose?
Like a sphinx in silver light, you held the deep
Oh, with flames, you gave catharsis
And stole our hopes and dreams from our sleep

Wizard of the vortex
Giving your soul the spark of it all
Guardian of the godless
Stared into the pit, saw the abyss
Wizard of the vortex
Spreading your wings, down, down, down, down, down

I'm the wizard of the vortex
I′m the omen, I'm the sign
I'm the wizard of the vortex
I′m the symptom of our times
I′m the wizard of the vortex
