'samarithan' Lyrics - Lucifer Rising - Candlemass

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 

but 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, an angel could give To me 

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" 

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
