Candlemass - A Sorcerer's Pledge Lyrics

5:47 anyone imaging Hexen / Heretic: shadow of the serpent riders when this plays?

I finally can play a song without having to tune my guitar :D

Because in this song, the guitars are tuned in somewhere between Eb and D at the sixth string

EPICUS DOOMICUS METALLICUS 2020

esta muy bueno esto

Epic Greek concert guys, thank you for coming <3

Of course

The female ghost voice is exactly the way my Granny did the ghost voice when I asked her to. It was very haunting

Cthulhu 669 u made ur grandma sing a candlemass song¿

@thejesterrace 1184 Haha, no. She would play around and do a ghost voice when she would tell me ghost stories when I was a little kid. Later, when I was a teenager, this hit the shelves and when I heard the song I thought " wow, that sounds like when Granny would tell ghost stories". I was raised by my Grandparents and hearing this reminds me of my Granny, I miss them

Cthulhu 669 oh shit thats actually a really cool backstory my dood

@thejesterrace 1184 Yeah, it actually causes my eyes to well up and I'll be sad when I hear it sometimes. How macho for a 45 year old grown man, right?

Wow.... what a masterpiece of an album! Why am I finding this only now?

Unbelievable band unbelievable voice there will NEVER be another band like them

A Fade to blacks pledge

THE ENDING THOUGH... I WISH IT WAS LONGER

Back in our time goes the legend
of a sorcerer so old
He drank the blood of the virgin to be reborn
Soon a tyrant will conquer
So spoke the wise
of the day when the sorcerer will rise


Simply epic!!!

No morning, no sum , Hell inside!

Is the most BADASS Candlemass' song i've heard... HOLY SHIT

someone lisening in 2019?

December 2019

So happy to see this and other classics on a medium besides my cassettes. 😄

i just discovered these guys yesterday and i'm in love

mirhdynn it’s my Christmas song ! 🤘🔥

Best doom metal song ever🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 3:40

02:19 - 02:38 imagine that you just found someone who hurts your family and you stare him into hes eyes while you listening this inside your head...

First riff after the acoustic intro is very similar to Death's Pull the plug off Leprosy. Both songs are amazing

Το τέλος γάμησε

I’m confused as to why Sorcerers have to pledge to anything. Sorcerers were born with their superpowers. You must be thinking of Warlocks, Warlocks do all the spooky and evil stuff, unless they make a pact with a celestial or arch-fey

Perfect metal song. It doesn't get much better than that.

One of my favorite messiah

It's not Messiah , it's Johan

Hearing "only the cry of the child echoes in the dark" is so epic that it makes me want to roll a 12 sided die

When it transitions to part III, I get chills. So awesome.

Maybe the best debut album of all time. Johan Längqvist has one of the best voices ever. For me the best voice of Canddlemass.

Those drums are amazing

Yeah, the drummer is amazing. Faster and slower.

What the fuck are these lyrics? I feel my spine tingling and my mind and eyes woken. Where has this music gone? It’s like finding a world irrelevant to ours. A world of dark magic, blood, cars, battle and blood. I hope I dream evil tonight.

Always been a favorite of mine for over 30 years now.

2:20 ααΑΑΑααΑ καυλιαρικο

The ending always gives me chills. Like a beautiful spirit singing and floating through a cemetery.

It's like the perfect mix of heavy evil and very melodic parts..... Simply The whole song is...

Deeeeeeep!!!!!!!

Music to play Dark Souls!

"Logan pledge"

Και γω απο το metal hammer που το ειχε δωρο!δεν ειχα ακουσει ποτε candlemass.επαθα πλακα οταν το ακουσα!

If i wanted to stop listening...Jesus...

Good lord, badass

Best Candlemass song

Unbelievable band unbelievable voice there will never be another like them

Fantastic !!

And this song is when Iced Earth was originally concieved.

Like the dark space

This boy can SING!!!!!they dont SING anymore

The best song from a classic doom band. EPIC AF!!!!

If anyone heard me listening to this they would probably assume I had some form of autism.

Because most people are brain dead troglodytes who couldn't find their asses with both hands and a fucking map.

gotta love surfing Utube, finding older gems like this, buying this cd for sure \m/ \m/

woah, I'm the 3700th like :D

Love this song!!!! The album is EPIC!!!

Best doom metal band EVER NO QUESTION

Απλά τελειο

Aliester Crowley would have appreciated this song...

Yeah, dude... actually, if you listen to allot of their songs, you can kind of see that they were clearly paying homage to Aleister Crowley... I actually think "Solitude" is about the end of Crowley's life. Crowley died a sad and lonely life at the end.

CANDLEMASS...⚡️💀⚡️

Nothing beats this album and Johan. Let’s hope they can achieve 1/10 of what they achieved in this album now that Johan is back.

John is back as vocalist.

This song is so... epic

Hes Back...hear the news?

The best Candlemass's song ever!

Truly a metal classic.

"A thousand yrs of midnight, the sunrise is gone"

.1.3.1.

Oh my god THAT voice in the end!

That sorcerer seems like a pretty chill dude.

+ E P I C +

That outro could go on for an hour

Time stands still in these ancient halls
Only the castle itself can tell what it keeps
Dark are the secrets between these walls
Hidden in shadows of death, while the sorcerer sleeps

Where is the morning? Where is the sun?
Thousand years of midnight, the sunrise is gone

An old man, marked by a life so long
Is sleeping so sweet while his magic is growing so strong
Waiting still, for new times to come
A thousands years to see if he has won

Where is the morning? Where is the sun?
A thousand years of midnight, the sunrise is gone

What has he done? Why is he sleeping so long?
He wants to live forevermore
Soon is he young, when will he open his eyes?
When he is strong enough to rule

Back in our time goes the legend of a sorcerer so old
He drank the blood of the virgin to be reborn
"Soon a tyrant will conquer", so spoke the wise
Of the day when the sorcerer will rise

Blood is his wine, the sorcerer is cheating time
And he'll be stronger than before
Cursed be the sun, the women will weep for his fun
In the name of his magic so strong

Back in our time goes the legend of a sorcerer so old
He drank the blood of the virgin to be reborn
"Soon a tyrant will conquer", so spoke the wise
Of the day when the sorcerer will rise

A thousand years have gone, armageddon hasn't come
Only the cry of a child echoes in the dark
Backwards goes time, as the stars are passing by
And nothing remains of this foolish man, except his fate

Jidhtal Manixná
Thank-you💋.

This has to be one of the greatest metal tracks ever.

MASTERPIECE 💖

One of the best Doom/Epic metal songs ever. Maybe the best.

This is an epic song.... simply too beautiful to describe...

Lars "Lasse" Johansson

Here's how I summarize candlemass and pretty much epic doom in general, get the doom sound with elements of power metal and gothic metal with operatic vocals and wala you got one of the greatest doom bands ever

okay at first i didn't like it but damn thats some good shit

فير وز .

This is one of the only songs to actually make my hairs stand, it's so fucking beautiful.

Who the hell disliked this?!

Probably the Sorcerer himself.

send them to the demons gate.........

Let me check my CRYSTAL BALL and see. Yep, 61 Obama supporters...

Hernan Ariel hahaha Nice one

just love this and thank god you are not one of the people who disliked this....you have to be a complete fucking idiot to dislike this

Wow..!!! Best song of candlemass.

Ragne Wahlquist(Heavy Load) on the haunting keyboards

bu grubu yeni keşfettiğim için kendimi öldürmek istiyorum

o zaman bu grubu daha fazla dinleyemezsin ama :c

bunu ne zaman yazdığımı hatırlamıyorum ama aptalca bir espri yapmışım kendimce boşver...

baska dunya yok arkadaslar kendinizi oldurmeyin

I feel like that final riff could've been extended a bit

Indeed.

I wrote a d and d campaign on this song.

Cheetahcabra I wish I could have played in it...

I've done that too! I've written it but haven't got to play it yet

Holy crap i was thinking about it. This song is so inspiring and emotional

I need to join your group.

NO MATTER how many times I hear this song.. I still get chills!

You will evolve soon, there is darker our there

Doom Metal Masters

this band is amazing

many great bands get over looked cause mediocrity is in vogue right now

god de tering maatje wreed in de mix met de tekst spaaans werk woordelijke voor ejercijo una y hijo la hija ishet zwlfde als la ninja el ninjo als het nog kleine koters zijn cool toch maatje

zou het woord conquer afgebasterd in niederlansh kanker zijn geworden
