Book of Shadows Lyrics


as the man went up to his room

his thoughts were of his only child

"this book for you my son"

was all that he wrote

and he slept with a smile on his face

and when he could read the orphan would find a book

no one else could see

your poor father´s passed away my friend

and now I am all you need

so don´t read me my son

for I might not obey

and don´t leave me alone

for you might surely die

now at twelve he entered the room

it´s been locked since his father´s death

inside he found a trunk on the floor

and a key on a hook by the door

"why must I open this chest?

father was never there for me"

a voice came from nowhere

"it´s never too late to carry on with his name"

but it won´t ever go away

it´s locked in my mind

the book is the key for the circle

and if I should die before I wake

I pray for the magick in my soul

it´s mine forever to take

the book is here, it´s in the book

the spell of life´s inside

my words live on, my life was gone

but now I come alive!

the book is here, it´s in the book

the shadows lurk inside

my words live on, my life was gone

but now I come alive!

I call on the name of who I serve

to invoke his force into me

no more a child

I am now a god,

my father lives in me
