CANDLEMASS LYRICS
"Samarithan" (1988 Single)
1. Samarithan
2. Solitude
3. Crystal Ball
1. Samarithan
One day I saw a man
dressed in rags, with a staff in his hand
begging for a penny to survive
How poor a man can be
I gave him hospitality
a room, a bed and lots of food to eat
Still I hear his last few words
"I can never return what you've done
heaven will remember and repay"
Fifty years had gone since I saw him
I was dying and I'd soon be dead
Three angels stood in front of me bed
The first one she said to me, don't be afraid
I will give you immortality, and grace for your soul
The second had eyes of gold, she gave me my wings
The third gave all wisdom, and angel could give
...to me
[Repeat 1st Verse]
[Repeat 2nd Verse]
I joined with my destiny, eternally
I knew I was born again, an angel to be
A vision beyond my dreams, called me by name
So in devotion I spread my wings, to heaven I had came
...to stay
2. Solitude
I'm sitting here alone in darkness
waiting to be free,
Lonely and forlorn I'm crying
I long for my time to come
death means just life
Please let me die in solitude
Hate is my only friend
pain is my father
torment is delight to me
Death is my sanctuary
I seek it with pleasure
Please let me die in solitude
Receive my sacrifice
my lifeblood is exhausted
no one gave love and understanding
Hear these words
vilifiers and pretenders
and please let me die in solitude
Earth to earth
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
3. Crystal Ball
Black heart, your soul is min
gaze into and the secrets you'll find
Just read the signs
Gaze into the crystal
See what it tells
It can bring you all fortune
do you so well
Visions and dreams you can see in the
Crystal ball
I saw the rainbows end
I am raptured I cannot pretend
I have found Atlantis
alisman of Seth
I have seen it all
dreamt away through the crystal ball
Tell me more I want to know
please hear my call
