Lyrics for Under The Oak (Demo)
Deep was my anguish infor these words They froze my blood and chained my soul The master has spoken, the truth, not any lies Devil gives and evil takes The things 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 Oh-oh, oh-oh It was a time, when love was mine Oh-oh, oh-oh Now it's time to sacrifice My heart, bleeding for my race The traces of mankind sweeped out By the hands of our Lord I cried for the ones I have lost Midnight in paradise, grief Away goes my hope I cried for the ones I have lost See my tears flowing like the river Styx See my soul crumbling in the seas of sin Hear my prayers Climbing on the clouds above Silent cry Reach the inner halls of truth What duels in my nightmares? Why can't I be strong? Is my conscience so bad? Am I afraid of life or death? Now it's time to realize That life is worth a lot Son of starlight, meet your fate Oh-oh, oh-oh A crimson sky, bless my eyes Oh-oh, oh-oh Up goes the sun, my time has come
