Under the Oak

Deep was my anguish for these words They froze my blood and chained my soul The master had spoken, the truth, not any lies The devil gives and evil takes, the things 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 rested 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 It was a time, when love was mine, oh, oh Now it's time, to sacrifice My heart, bleeding for my race The traces of mankind swept out by the hands of our Lord I cried for the ones I had lost Midnight in paradise, grief, away goes my hope I cried for the ones I had lost
