Dark Are The Veils Of Death - Candlemass

Death is present, the candle has burned out

The scythe is raised, he’s eager to reap

The extreme unction prepares for the last flight

But God knows where you will rest

Dark are the veils of death

To sail the seas of eternal damnation

To cross the desert of woe and despair

Or drink the chalice of divine ambrosia

Your life will be put to the test

Dark are the veils of death

Enter the great adventure

Just wait and see

Heaven or hell will call you

Now when your spirit is free

Where can your salvation be

Now when your spirit is free

Where can your salvation be

Now when your spirit is free

Fading light

Disappearing light

Tells you darkness is to come

Ancient rites

The death-mass itself

Has never revealed where you will go

You will enter realms where angels fear to tread

Open hidden doors within your mind

Sail with Charon sail into destiny

Accept your death and make it to your own choice

Enter the great adventure

Just wait and see

Heaven or hell will call you

Now when your spirit is free

Death is present the candle has burned out

The scythe is raised he’s eager to reap

The extreme unction prepares for the last flight

But God knows where you will rest

Dark are the veils of death

To sail the seas of eternal damnation

To cross the desert of woe and despair

Or drink the chalice of divine ambrosia

Your life will be put to the test

Dark are the veils of death

Where can your salvation be

Now when your spirit is free

Where can your salvation be

Now when your spirit is free

Fading light

Disappearing light

Tells you darkness is to come

Ancient rites

The death-mass itself

Has never revealed where you will go

You will enter realms where angels fear to tread

Open hidden doors within your mind

Sail with Charon sail into destiny

Accept your death and make it to your own choice
