In the loneliness of winter When I seek penance for my sins I call upon my fate for mercy Oh let the king of diamonds win When the lords of light are with me I climb the stairs up to Ungol When the angel witch she soothes me I'm her witchfinder general Yeah Doom is the soul of metal Primordial and pure Doom is the true essence of living Immortal My cure When my heart is filled with sorrow And I wonder who I am I put on some ancient Trouble Some old Vitus Pentagram When my soul walks in the darkness Or life's hopelessness again Then I find solace I find comfort And I learn and understand Yeah At the blessed pagan altar He kneels the reverend bizarre And he calls me and I follow Into the doomed world of my heart There is beauty in the mourning So much truth and tenderness Let me celebrate the sabbath so black The rites of candlemass There is wisdom in the slowness In the rhythm is the magic In the air And I know I've found salvation In the music of despair
