I bind unto myself today the strong name of the trinity
Crypt of despair the old man is there forming a circle of magic and prayers
Guarding the well the black hole to hell its evil must never arise I can tell Holy mission forever he's sworn to protect our world from hatred and scorn He will not fear though the Sabbath is near twelve strokes for Candlemass darkness descends
[Chorus:] Break the circle and all hell comes loose the well of souls must stay sealed Ancient force of light against the dark the well of souls must stay sealed
Black wind turns out the candles the air grows cold and threatening Dark shadows wicked laughter brings darkness to your heart Behold the goat of Mendes red burning evil eyes Lord's prayer holy water just faith can save you now
