Lyrics A Sorcerer's Pledge - Candlemass

OK, a song from our first album
Our last song
This is called "A Sorcerer's Pledge"
Now, there's 20,000 people here tonight
And I want to see everybody's hands in the air

Time, oh-oh
Time stands still in these ancient halls
Only the castle itself can tell what it keeps
Dark are the secrets between these walls
Hidden in shadows of death, while the sorcerer sleeps

Where is the morning?
Where is the sun? Oh
A thousand years of midnight
The sunrise is gone

An old man marked by a life so long
Is sleeping so sweet while his magic is growing so strong
Waiting still, for new times to come
A thousand years to see if he has won
And I ask you, Eindhoven

Where is the morning?
Where is the sun, sun, sun?
A thousand years of midnight
The sunrise is gone, it's gone

What has he done? Why is he sleeping so long?
He wants to live for evermore
Soon is he young, when will he open his eyes?
When he is strong enough to rule, to rule?

Back in our time goes the legend of a sorcerer so old
He drank the blood of the virgin to be reborn
"Soon a tyrant will conquer", so spoke the wise
Of the day when the sorcerer will rise
Rise

Blood is his wine, the sorcerer is cheating on time
And he'll be stronger than before
Cursed be the sun, the women will weep for his fun
In the name of his magic so strong

Back in our time goes the legend of a sorcerer so old
He drank the blood of the virgin to be reborn
"Soon a tyrant will conquer", so spoke the wise
Of the day when the sorcerer will rise
Will rise
Rise

Can you feel what you're supposed to do now?
Put your fucking hands up

A thousand years have gone, Armageddon hasn't come
And only the cry of a child echoes in the world
Backwards goes time, as the stars are passing by
And nothing remains of this foolish man, except his fate

I want you to sing, Eindhoven

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

You can do better than that
That's what I like
OK, you got two chances
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Give me all you've got
All you 20,000, last chance
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Give it to me

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Yeah, the sorcerer is cheating
Is cheating on time
Yeah

All fucking right
Thank you very much

OK
You guys are crazy
