1986 - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus - 04 - Black Stone Wielder -------------------
The rain kept on falling and darkened the sky the dawn was to come with the sunrise Revealing the shadows that passed through the mist the torchlight was flickering, the storm was chasing them on
A procession of dark coats followed the star foretold to come since ages In silence they walked on Crossing the lands On their way to Bethlehem, to break the chains of the spell Stone, they worshipped the stone In generation from father to son A star, a star is to come to light them way to the one who is born The leader he knelt there to greet the newborn holding 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 returned the moon was rising and heaven burned like shadows disappeared the men and 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 come and light them the way to the one who is born
They came across the western sea with powers greater than needed The wizards commanded the lightning every creature knelt in for their will But they wielded the black stone with evil and their evil was cast back on them condamned to praise god forever 'til his son was born to deliver
