Bearer Of Pain Lyrics - Singles - Candlemass

Once a year, the white robes go on a quest 

In search of a virgin, a child of innocence 

Born of Apollon divine is the heritage 

Chosen by foe to accomplish a holy task 

Bearer of pain, bearer of pain 

Lighten the burdens of woe 

Bearer of pain, bearer of pain 

Heal the wounds of the city 

Up in the tower, the nerve of the city so high 

Treated like a princess 

But imprisoned by the will of her fate 

Concentrating, feeling the pain how it flows 

Through the walls of the city into her soul 

Bearer of pain, bearer of pain 

Lighten the burdens of woe 

Bearer of pain, bearer of pain 

Heal the wounds of the city 

I bear your weight upon my shoulders 

I bleed for you and pray 

I hear your moaning in my mind 

I comfort night and day 

From my tower to your foundations 

My soul reaches through your walls 

Market square of guarded bastions 

I answer to your calls 

The tears of the city wiped away by summer breeze 

The pain is lightened by sweet, sweet dreams 

The cries of despair are silenced with a lullaby 

Sleep, my child, I'm with you, we are one 

Bearer of pain 

Now a year her chamber is opened again 

Led by servants, the old one is barely sane 

Marked by her burdens, the guardian can finally rest 

Replaced by another, carrying on the continuing test
