The Bells of Acheron Lyrics


A distant calling, a faint echo from the past
the bells are still tolling, the message of sadness and death
In the city of Acheron
the priests burned the Book
worshipped false Gods
scoffed at the good
desecrated the altar
spat on the cross
teared down the temples
and laughed at their loss
of faith ... of faith
Stone by stone, the ringing goes on and on
attracting a memory, forgotten and nowhere to be found
Forged by the mighty
admired by the great
once blessed by the holy
protected* by fate
Announcing the twilight

the wrath of the Gods
the city of Acheron
was drowned by the flood
The bells of Acheron
* Abandoned 2nd verse

Candlemass is an epic doom metal band formed in Stockholm, Sweden in 1984. Candlemass arose from the earlier Nemesis outfit belonging to bassist Leif Edling and guitarist Christian Weberyd. Prior to the dissolvement of the group, Nemesis had released the highly praised 'Day Of Retribution' album in 1984. Debuting Candlemass on the tape trading circuit with the four song 'Witchcraft' demo in 1984, featuring a line-up of Edling, Weberyd and drummer Mats Ekström, and a second demo that November, the band promptly signed to the French Black Dragon label.
