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 [bad word] 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 [bad [bad word] 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

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 [bad [bad word] loose
The well of souls must stay sealed
Ancient force of light against the dark
The well of souls must stay sealed
