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 It's evil must never arise I can tell
Holy mission Forever he sworn To protect our world from hatred and scorn He will not fear Though the Sabbath is near Twelve strokes for Candlemass darkness descends
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 Only faith can save you now
Disharmony, satanic serenade Black symphony, a tribute to the plague The twisted souls awakened by the chanting Unchained at last, rise, they will now rise
A new day's dawn, holy light
Sunlight redeems Says the dark, warms and heals, Makes you see nightmares' terror is back in your dreams Sleep well my friend 'cause this tale's now to end Don't believe our world is as safe's we pretend
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
