Sunrise I greet you, the beauty of your light so warm and tender was never the night In tears I see you, the last time it will be so give me your blessing
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
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
[instrumental]
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
One day I saw a man dressed in rags, with a staff in his hand begging for a penny to survive How poor a man can be I gave him hospitality a room, a bed
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
