Assassin of the Light Lyrics by Candlemass

Candlemass

2005

[Verse 1]
Mask of shadow's soul, leaves the night he owns
The grace of the beast, the solace of the sleet
A sea of colder rain gives him life again
To hunt mortality, precious pearls of grief
[Verse 2]
Murder draped in dusk, the thief's not one of us
Came here with the shrouds, sweet talks, charms and bows
Ain't no sunshine sweet, no more day, no dawning
Feeds on your sorrow, drawn to the horror
[Chorus]
Welcome, assassin of light
How did you know I didn't know?
Save me, prince of the night
You kill and go, you steal the show
Blackout
Lights out
[Post-Chorus]
Assassin of the light
Assassin of the light
Assassin of the light
Assassin of the light
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Out of blue thin air, he is in my lair
Say that I'm the one, provides me with a gun
Soft like the willow, leaves no trace
Hands me a pillow over my face
[Verse 3]
I'm excited so, the secret guest just showed
Felt that I was sad, the little wish I had
He stood behind the door, the hands of evermore
Lord of the weeping shadow helped me see green meadows
[Chorus]
Welcome, assassin of light
How did you know I didn't know?
Save me, prince of the night
You kill and go, you steal the show
Blackout
Lights out
