Black Stone Wielder - Lyrics by Candlemass


Lyrics
The rain kept on fallingand darkened the skythe dawn was to come with the sunrise
Revealing the shadowsthat passed through the mistthe torchlight was flickering, the stormwas chasing them on
A procession of dark coatsfollowed the starforetold to come since ages
In silence they walked on
Crossing the lands
On their way to Bethlehem, to break thechains of the spell
Stone, they worshipped the stone
In generation from father to son
A star, a star is to cometo light them way to the one who is born
The leader he knelt thereto greet the newbornholding his pendant before him
Teardrops were falling from his eyes as he said
<
<
Take this stone and use it well don't do as I did long ago>>
Into the sundown he returnedthe moon was rising and heaven burnedlike shadows disappeared the menand the black stone wielders were never seen again
Stone, they wielded the stone
In generation from father to son
A star, a star is to comeand light them the way to the one who is born
They came across the western seawith powers greater than needed
The wizards commanded the lightningevery creature knelt in for their will
But they wielded the black stone with eviland their evil was cast back on themcondamned to praise god forever'til his son was born to deliver
