Candlemass - Black Stone Wielder


The rain kept on falling 
and darkened the sky 
the dawn was to come with the sunrise 
Revealing the shadows 
that passed through the mist 
the torchlight was flickering, the storm 
was chasing them on 

A procession of dark coats 
followed the star 
foretold to come since ages 
In silence they walked on 
Crossing the lands 
On their way to Bethlehem, to break the 
chains of the spell 
Stone, they worshipped the stone 
In generation from father to son 
A star, a star is to come 
to light them way to the one who is born 
The leader he knelt there 
to greet the newborn 
holding his pendant before him 
Teardrops were falling from his eyes as he said 

< don't do as I did long ago>> 

Into the sundown he returned 
the moon was rising and heaven burned 
like shadows disappeared the men 
and the black stone wielders were never seen again 
Stone, they wielded the stone 
In generation from father to son 
A star, a star is to come 
and light them the way to the one who is born 

They came across the western sea 
with powers greater than needed 
The wizards commanded the lightning 
every creature knelt in for their will 
But they wielded the black stone with evil 
and their evil was cast back on them 
condamned to praise god forever 
'til his son was born to deliver
