Candlemass Dark Are the Veils of Death Lyrics

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 d___ation
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

Fading light
disappearing light
tells you darkness is to come

Ancient rites
the death-mass itself
has never revealed where you will go

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

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
