Candlemass - The Prophecy / Dark Reflections (HQ)

Candlemass - The Prophecy / Dark Reflections from the 1989 album "Tales of Creation"

"Holy was the star from which you were born,
to a world where darkness and fear take form
A lonely soul with a heart of light to find
beyond reality, forgotten in time
Seek the heart, seek in your dreams
visit your nightmares and realms yet unseen
You are alone, the last one to be
a representative of mankind to decide the final destiny
Will you be saved or will you stay blind
deep in your soul the answer you'll find"

The words were spoken, I cried in my hands
the bringer of wisdom, or the one who condemns
Can I succeed where the mighty have failed
and re-create the harmony from where salvation hails

A black star fell down the night I was reborn
a last chance to save us, a last chance to turn dusk to dawn
The vultures they cried out
their welcome to greet my arrival
the shadows they danced for my death
at the nightmare's trial
The demons of fear tearing my sad soul apart
a horned winged creature laughed out its scorn to the dawn
The sun wasn't able to send down its light, swallowed by thoughts in my mind
Dark was my conscience, I was the last of my kind

[Chorus]

I was dead
awake in hell
A lonely corpse
to break the spell
A soul in flames
a heart in chains

Can't you see
You must believe...
The witchbrew was drained, I couldn't escape my fate
wrong was this place full with awful disgrace and hate
Sweet ancient memories, fragments of times that have passed
came to my mind like a blessing with grace for my eyes

[Chorus]

I just found these guys and i must say fuck i'm blown away always been a fan of black sabbath but black sabbath kinda went another direction from doom and candlemass has stayed with what made them badass from the start just wished i'd heard of them sooner i found them while listening to Witchcraft which is another great band

[MrSentinel83]

But it seems to be a more sympathetic story about the fall of Lucifer.
