Lucifer Rising

Candlemass

Compositor: Leif Edling

In the dunes of Egyptian sand
In the cities and small towns
The world goes from land to land
The dawn of enlightment is here
Oh blessed the children of doom
As they dance on the meadow
Oh poet and merchant and witch
You know the master is here

Lucifer rising

The caravan reaches the port
And they sail down the river
To praise and witness the birth
Of the king the one that will come
Black worship in church and home
Seek their way to power
And free them from chains of Rome
To shout the name of the lord
