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 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 slays 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 [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"

Death is present the candle has burned out the scythe is raised he's eager to reap the extreme unction prepares for the last flight but God knows where you will rest Dark are the veils of death To sail the seas of eternal damnation to cross the desert of woe and despair or drink the chalice of divine ambrosia Your life will be put to the test Dark are the veils of death Enter the great adventure just wait and see Heaven or hell will call you now when your spirit is free [Chorus] Where can your salvation be now when your spirit is free where can your salvation be now when your spirit is free Fading light disappearing light tells you darkness is to come Ancient rites the death-mass itself has never revealed where you will go You will enter realms where angels fear to tread open hidden doors within your mind Sail with Charon sail into destiny accept your death and make it to your own choice [Repeat 4th Verse] [Repeat 1st Verse] [Repeat 3rd Verse] [Chorus]

Let me stay here by your side be one with you my precious child Let me cover your bed with tears I will save you from all fears I burn the candles for your soul I sing you prayers as the preacher told I bring you flowers, I dress in black though I know this cannot give you back [Chorus] I sleep by your shadow remembering your light In my heart I'm with you every night Far goes your journey into the unknown wherever you might be be well my son Why just you my flesh and blood I cannot live nor understand my dearest treasure to be found six feet under in sacred ground Watch me bleed you lucky ones I envy you your living sons I'll give mine the strength of my faithful breath I will mourn him to my death [Chorus] Rest in peace [Repeat 1st Verse] [Chorus]

Can't you see, the devil in me just take a look in my eyes I will play for you, this wicked melody it's magic will reach for your soul It burns inside, no place to hide this strange tune possesses your mind It comes over you, and the nightmare is true you'll enter the realm of the dark You are bewitched... [x 2] Bewitched by delight, you'll reach the night dancing and singing to my fiddle So take my hand, and understand that no-one will see you again You are bewitched... [x 2] I am the master of the enchanted tune I'll play for your joy, for your soul, for your doom My fingers they dance upon the strings like fire weaving a spell of my burning desire Sing with me, meet your destiny set yourself free to the magic So come with me, my kingdom to see believe me you're captured my friend You are bewitched... [x 4]
