under the oak

  under the oak
  
  ...deep was my anguish infor these words
  they froze my blood and changed my soul
  the master has spoken, the truth, not any lies
  the devil gives and evil takes
  the thing in life that man forsakes
  a throne in hell, a price or a sacrifice ?
  still the wind was blowing soft
  and gentle here under the oak
  which gave me shelter and rest infor my trial
  i'm not strong, weak is my mind
  a new beginning, where to find ?
  i'm the last one on earth, please forgive us our crime
  it was a time, when love was mine
  now it's time to sacrifice
  
  my heart, bleeding for my race
  the traces of mankind sweeped out
  by the hand of our lord
  i cried for the ones i lost
  midnight in paradise, grief
  away goes my hope
  i cried for the ones i lost
  
  hear my prayers
  climbing on the clouds above
  silent cry
  reach the inner halls of truth
  give me a sign !
  
  a crimson sky, bless my eyes
  up goes the sun, my time has come
• (bkz: epicus doomicus metallicus) albümünün en iyilerinden olan (bkz: candlemass) parçası. hrıstiyan motiflerini barındıran şarkı aynı zamanda oldukça yoğun bir melankoliye de sahip.
• hz. adem'in ağzından anlatıldığını düşündüğüm, çok güzel albümün, çok güzel parçası.
