A Sorcerers Pledge - Lyrics by Candlemass


Lyrics
Part I       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       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       Where is the morning       where is the sun       A thousand years of midnight       the sunrise is gone
Part II What has he done ? Why is he sleeping so long ? He wants to live for evermore Soon is he young When will he open his eyes ? When he is strong enough to rule 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 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
Part III A thousand years have gone Armageddon hasn't come Only the cry of a child echoes in the dark Backwards goes time as the stars are passing by and nothing remains of this foolishman except his fate.
