'dark Are The Veils Of Death' Lyrics - 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 night 

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 you 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 night 

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 door within your mind 

Sail with Charon sail with destiny 

Accept your death and make it your own choice
