Under The Oak
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Deep was my anguish and for these words
They froze my blood and chained my soul
The master has spoken, the truth, not any lies
The Devil gives and evil takes
The thing in life that man forsakes
A throne in hell, a price or a sacrifice?
Still the wind was blowing soft
And gentle here under the oak
Which gave me shelter and rest in for my trial
I'm not strong, weak is my mind
A new beginning, where to find?
I'm the last one on earth, please, forgive us our crime
Oh, oh, ah, ah
It was a time, when love was mine
Oh, oh, ah, ah
Now it's time to sacrifice
My heart bleeding for my race
The traces of mankind sweeped out
By the hands of our Lord
I cried for the ones I have lost
Midnight in paradise, grief
Away goes my hope
I cried for the ones I have lost!
Hear my prayers climbing on the clouds above
Silent cry reach the inner halls of truth
Give me a sign! A sign!
Oh, oh, oh, oh
A crimson sky, bless my eyes
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Up goes the Sun, my time has come
