Candlemass Follow

Serpent rising on the horizon
And right here in my abode
Evil sensation, a manifestation
I'm petrified I cannot go

Black and white day glow
Cold creeping fright show
A star of infinite mass
Soul corroding and head exploding
Existence reduced in a flash

Diamond of a million flies
Illusion of hope
Black lizard in disguise
Hate fiend on dope

Dwarf, the black dwarf

Slow death descending, pain never-ending
Astaroth won't go away
So radiating now always hating
This liar commands you to stay

Depressions and crisis, hopeless advices
Suicide, acid rain
Controlling the masses, misguiding our asses
Bringing me stain on stain

Freak show from outer hell
Psychos create
Heroes or villains low
The choices you make

Dwarf, the black dwarf
The black dwarf, the black dwarf

Have you seen the poison queen
Sitting on your shoulder?
Don't you know what she says?
Can you not control her?

Read the hex like you read the stories
God is dead and you have no worries
Forget ambition, fuck the vision
Kill the lights and go to sleep

The stalker is stalking and talking and talking
Colossal power and wit
Pathetic, unethical and yes, unaesthetic
Oh boy, you're so full of shit

You're playing me tricks, 666
The Devil dictating the news
I can't keep resisting, black dwarf's insisting
I'm so afraid of you

Diamond of a million flies
Illusion of hope
Black lizard in disguise
Hate fiend on dope

Freak show from outer hell
Psychos create
Heroes or villains low
The choices you make

Dwarf, the black dwarf
The black dwarf, the black dwarf

From the filth of the crucifix
To the stench of headlines
The dwarf is there, his ugly face
Blocking out the sunshine

No taboos and no distinctions
Fantasy creating fiction
And no one knows what to believe
So kill the lights and go to sleep

Go to sleep
