CANDLEMASS LYRICS

1. Death Thy Lover

Death, he loves you more than anything
Walks behind you with black halo thing
In the dying hour, let the endless in
Face of immortal beauty, angel's wings

Death thy lover in the hollow, there's no other
He's your only friend and he's watching over you
Death thy lover... an adventure to discover
When you reconcile, he's a long cold kiss

Death is your life companion, mirror soul
And when your featherless wither, there's an oath
One last caress, a whisper, the wind that leaves its home
And there he is, your shadow. Fear no more.

In harmony, in tragedy,
I tried to run, but you won't leave
A superstar, a passenger dark
I am safe here in your arms

Death thy lover, in the hollow… there's no other
He's your only friend, and he's watching over you
Death thy lover… an adventure… to discover
When you reconcile… he is a long cold kiss

2. Sleeping Giant

Buried deep under miles of ice
The sleeping giant frozen lies
Covered in frost since dogs could fly
Icy tear in star-drenched eye

Mountains die and mountains form
You see no light, no polar storm
His hammer smashed whole worlds to dust
The legend that was colossus

A god among the ants he was
But the people were afraid of course
He was the thing that should not be
A freak of nature, unhuman being

Solar rays… electric clouds
Thunder bolts… don't wake him up

Sleeping sleeping giant
Once you were a king
The lord of everything
Sleeping sleeping giant
You fell from silent skyes [sic]
Soon the sun will melt the ice

Sleeping sleeping giant
Chained under the earth…
One day you will return… yeah

3. Sinister And Sweet

Claws and little tail
Horns that points my way
Can evil be so innocent, frail?

Blessing in disguise
A shattering surprise
Do you know, you're the devil's own child?

Will you cross the sacred line?
Would you kill a butterfly?
Will you be a sign of our time?

When you leave the little cage
Don't believe you are safe
Where there's beauty, there will always be pain

I see the look on your face
I see the night in your gaze
Starless and discreet…
So sinister and sweet

Hide the fear in your eyes
Morning light comes and dies
You're dangerous and neat
Sinister and sweet

4. The Goose

[Instrumental]
