I bind unto myself today The strong name of the trinity Crypt of despair the old man is there Forming a circle of magic and prayers Guarding the well the black hole to hell It's evil must never arise I can tell Holy mission forever he's sworn To protect our world from hatred and scorn He will not fear though the Sabbath is near Twelve strokes for Candlemass darkness descends Break the circle and all hell comes loose The well of souls must stay sealed Ancient force of light against the dark The well of souls must stay sealed Black wind turns out the candles The air grows cold and threatening Dark shadows wicked laughter Brings darkness to your heart Behold the goat of Mendes Red burning evil eyes Lord's prayer holy water Only faith can save you now Disharmony, satanic serenade Black symphony, a tribute to the plague The twisted souls awakened by the chanting Unchained at last, rise, they will now rise A new day's dawn, holy light Sunlight redeems Slays the dark, warms and heals, makes you See nightmares' terror is back in your dreams Sleep well my friend 'cause This tale's now to end, don't Believe our world is as safe's we pretend Break the circle and all hell comes loose The well of souls must stay sealed Ancient force of light against the dark The well of souls must stay sealed
