Black Stone Weilder Lyrics - Candlemass

The rain kept on falling and darkened the sky 

the dawn was to come with the sunrise 

Revealing the shadows that passed through the mist, 

the torch light was flickering 

the storm was chasing them on 

A procession of dark coats followed the star 

foretold to come since ages 

In silence they walked on crossing their lands 

on the way to Bethlehem to break the chains of the spell 

Stone, they worshipped the stone 

in generation from father to son 

A star, a star is to come 

to light the way to the one who is born 

The leader he knelt there to greet the new born 

holding his pendant before him 

tear drops were falling from his eyes as he said 

"Take the stone and use it well 

don't do as I did long ago" 

Went into the sundown, never returned 

The moon was rising and the heaven burned 

Like shadows disappeared the men 

and the black stone weilders were never seen again 

Stone, they weilded the stone 

in generation from father to son 

A star, a star is to come 

to light the way to the one who is born 

Black stone weilder is born 

They came across the western sea 

with powers greater than needed 

The wizards commanded the lightning 

every creature knelt before their will 

But they weilded the black stone with evil 

and their evil was cast back on them 

Damned to praise God forever 

till His son was born to deliver 

Stone, they weilded the stone 

in generation from father to son 

A star, a star is to come 

to light the way to the one who is born
