Lyrics to Sweet Evil Sun [Full Album 2022] by Candlemass

Tracklist: 01. Wizard of the Vortex 00:00 Embers of evil, coming my way Where do you hide, what do you see? Spiral skies, black gravitation Can you trust the Savante Mezmerist? Friend of darkness, in the chapel Your magic's cold and worn, so stained Hidden key, a haze of amber The gate to hell opens today Wizard of the vortex Giving your soul, the spark of it all Guardian of the godless Stared into the pit, saw the abyss Wizard of the vortex Spreading your wings, down, down, down, down Down, down, down Did you surrender, when the demon rose? Like a sphinx in silver light you held the deep? Oh with flames, you gave catharsis And stole our hopes and dreams from our sleep Wizard of the vortex Giving your soul, the spark of it all Guardian of the godless Stared into the pit, saw the abyss Wizard of the vortex Spreading your wings, down, down, down, down, down I'm the wizard of the vortex I'm the omen, I'm the sign I'm the wizard of the vortex I'm the symptom of our times 02. Sweet Evil Sun 06:02 I always said you are the wicked one The wretched fiend, oooh the essence I tried to reach you, my Babylon So magnificent, my empress Sweet sweet evil sun oh mother of the world, you are the one Sweet sweet evil sun the battle for your love has begun I see your presence, the yellow crown In the east and in the west Oh, you burn me from your golden throne Am I the ant that you detest? Sweet sweet evil sun oh mother of the world, you are the one Sweet sweet evil sun the battle for your love has begun Ever so high, electrified Ball of wonder so alive You never die, never tamed Now put inferno into my brain Sweet sweet evil sun oh mother of the world, you are the one Sweet sweet evil sun the battle for your love has begun 03. Angel Battle 09:42 Happened on a Sunday Grace from the heavens They had swords, they had fire They had stars in their eyes Hundreds of ceraphs on the killing field, I hear them sing Horns and trumpets, lasers and shields, god is grim Angel battle Saints with blood on their swords Angel battle The war to end all wars Black wings and doves Grace and devotion Death from above Poetry in motion 7 trumpets on the 7th day, wrath in the clouds I see the solemn angel, and the white ones they slay The vengeance of god Angel battle Saints with blood on their swords Angel battle The war to end all wars Celestial battle, turquoise deadly rays Put your arms around me, this very day Heavenly lord, your white army came All that you gave, you took it away I saw the hordes of heaven, majestic and noble Victorian swagger, bringing destruction to souls, beast and mortal And the last city fell, with thunderbolts, cast from the eyes of the angels Who relentless and worthy, walked the face of the earth only to erase what was left of humankind And that was my dream 04. Black Butterfly 16:11 Like a wounded cockroach, the city died The sunset cracked, it was time The fallen dreamland of suburbia Obsolete and purified Children of the dark star, children of the grave Moonless and crimson, eyes of the exodus Oh child you are the butterfly, live and die Caravan of corpses, endless night Hypnotic fiery demon in the sky Sinister and red, oh murder moon We're the nameless forever lost, never to bloom Children of the dark star, children of the grave Moonless and crimson, eyes of the exodus Oh child you are the butterfly, you live and you die And I wonder who you are? Oh oh black butterfly I see your glow, in the everflow Oh you ghosts in the evening sky Oh you live and you die! Children of the dark star, children of the grave Moonless and crimson, eyes of the exodus Oh child you are the butterfly, in the setting sun 05. When Death Sighs 21:57 I can hear him sigh, a soulless breath In a sea of argent, a man called death A ring of reapers, gathering round my shrine Life-dust keeper, gimme some more time When death sighs awaken from the slumber When death sighs you know it's time to go When death sighs your world is going under When death sighs now tell me who you love Now tell me who you love Step by step, inch by inch, you're closer than before Not of heaven, not of hell, I wish I could ignore The bereaving god, the mourning angel, suckin' spirit n' sap I see no exit, I cannot fix it, I wear the beggars crown Same as usual, this freakin' labyrinth I think of you, apocalyptic grin He walks beside me, abacus in hand It's like a date with Nosferatu The Damned When death sighs awaken from the slumber When death sighs you know it's time to go When death sighs your world is going under When death sighs now tell me who you love When death sighs awaken from the slumber When death sighs sundown says hello When death sighs I see the wall of wonder When death sighs now tell me who you love Now tell me who you love Now tell me who you love Now tell me who you love 06. Scandinavian Gods 27:56 Young man, sinner, woman, sage Carry love from birth to grave You burning mortals will be remembered When all is gone and all has withered In rain and in sunshine - heaven and hell Will you feel grief for me? Scandinavian gods Sing for me brother, sister and son Sing for the brave and old Scandinavian gods Raging gods and dusty prophets Your words they fly through blood 'n' puppets It's time to leave you, it's time to go Together we can heal this world In rain and in sunshine - heaven and hell Will you feel grief for me? Scandinavian gods Sing for me brother, sister and son Sing for the brave and old Scandinavian gods God or devil, never let the wrong hand use you All together, let's build a better future In rain and in sunshine - heaven and hell Will you feel grief for me? Scandinavian gods Sing for me brother, sister and son Sing for the brave and old Scandinavian gods In rain and in sunshine - heaven and hell Will you feel grief for me? Scandinavian gods Sing for me brother, sister and son Sing for the brave and old Scandinavian gods 07. Devil Voodoo 32:32 When everything's the same, and I'm lost and unsane I just sit here and wait, for devil voodoo Tired and so bored, like many times before Longing for some soul - some devil voodoo Ancient dawn, I need your love, it's what I'm asking for Come to me and give your light, open up the door Freeze the time, blind the mind, down to the core Save my vessel, like you did so many years ago Dancing with the devil - tango, room to room Transmission from the tombs Can I really do, what you want me to? My charming little friend From beyond, an inner storm, a swarm to the heart The evening sun inside my bones, a welcome from the dark Savage light, I weep and cry - your whisper is so bright Now take me to the seventh gate, to the garden of delight Dancing with the devil - tango, room to room Transmission from the tombs Can I really do, what you want me to? My charming little friend Step into the world of holy trance Can't you feel it's coming, oh it's nothing new The devil voodoo, it's here for you In the midnight hour, touch of deja vú The devil voodoo - it is true, so true Greetings from the dark, daggers to the heart It's devil voodoo, taking you When everything's the same, and I'm lost and unsane Longing for some soul - some devil voodoo Ancient dawn, I need your love, it's what I'm asking for Come to me and give your light, open up the door Freeze the time... blind the mind, down to the core Save my vessel, like you did so many years ago Dancing with the devil - tango, room to room Transmission from the tombs Can I really do, what you want me to? My charming little friend Step into the world of holy trance Can't you feel it's coming, oh it's nothing new The devil voodoo, it's here for you In the midnight hour, touch of deja vú The devil voodoo - it is true, so true Greetings from the dark, daggers to the heart It's devil voodoo, taking you Devil voodoo Devil voodoo 08. Crucified 40:08 Here comes the river again, let's catch the day, and go far away And here comes infinity, takes hold of me, into the blue Crucified, forever and ever Mystified, hell or heaven? Oh the nails, all the black flowers I'm de-humanized, this fragile hour Crucified Crucified Crucified Crucified in the blue light I sacrificed, on the altar of madness Gave and fell, like the martyrs of mercy I'm drifting like debris, into a new tomorrow? Hate or love, or is it over? Crucified Crucified Crucified Crucified in the blue light Crucified Crucified Crucified Crucified in the blue light I've said it a thousand times Oh I paid the prize Let's walk into the setting sun It's a loaded gun, and they'll be there for us Those crosses, on the island of decay Crucified Crucified Crucified Crucified in the blue light 09. Goddess 46:32 You're the idol, the sanctum of my prayers The hallowed water, the anchor and the saviour Worthy shepherd, the bearer of us all Oh assembler, the centre of my world So I'm standing here before you With sun in hand, a new day It's not a dream, I do adore you Do you really feel betrayed? Humble messenger, the haven, perfection The sacred word, birth and resurrection Pious prophet, creator and destroyer Law and lamb, then thrown on the pyre So I'm standing here before you With sun in hand, a new day It's not a dream, I do adore you Do you really feel betrayed? You're not my goddess, no face of religion And you are not the blood, no ocean inside us I see you as witch, the enemy that finds us Our tears fall like crystal, into the fire So I'm standing here before you With sun in hand, a new day It's not a dream, I do adore you Do you really feel betrayed? In your eyes, I am demon But I come as a friend Oh your path of war and worship The beginning of the end 10. A Cup of Coffin (Outro) 52:37 (Instrumental)
