Black Dwarf
Candlemass Lyrics

Serpent rising on the horizon, and right here in my abode
I feel an overwhelming sense of danger and fear, as if a snake is coming towards me and I cannot escape it.

Full sensation, a manifestation, I'm petrified I cannot go
I am experiencing a complete feeling of terror, it is so intense that I am frozen in place and unable to move.

Black and white day glow, cold creeping fright show a star of infinite mass
Everything seems dark and lifeless, as if there is no color or light in the world. I feel a creeping sense of horror and an overwhelming weight of negativity.

Foul corroding and head exploding, existence reduced in a flash
My life is falling apart, and everything is disintegrating before my eyes. I feel like I'm being destroyed from the inside out.

Diamond of a million flies
Bright and beautiful on the surface, but underneath there are many destructive and harmful elements.

Illusion of hope
The idea that things will get better is just that, an idea. There is no real hope for the future, just a false sense of optimism.

Black lizard in disguise
Something that appears to be harmless and even beautiful may actually be dangerous and evil.

Hate fiend on dope
An entity consumed by hatred and negativity, perhaps driven by addiction or other destructive behavior.

Dwarf The Black Dwarf
An embodiment of negativity and destruction, the Black Dwarf represents all that is dark and terrible in the world.

Slow death descending, pain never-ending, Astaroth won't go away
A sense of despair and hopelessness, as if death is slowly but surely approaching and there is no escape from the pain. Astaroth, an entity known to bring destruction and harm, is present and persistent.

So radiating now always hating, this liar commands you to stay
The negative energy coming from a liar is overwhelming and persistent, commanding others to stay in this destructive and hateful mindset.

Depressions and crisis, hopeless advices, suicide, acid rain
A state of utter despair and hopelessness, with no way out. The advice given is useless and unhelpful, leading to thoughts of suicide and a sense of overwhelming gloom and doom.

Controlling the masses, misguiding our asses, bringing me stain on stain
Those in power are manipulating and deceiving the masses, leading us all down a path of destruction and harm. The stain of their negative actions continues to spread and grow.

Freak show from outer hell
A place where everything is strange and twisted, as if from another world or dimension.

Psychos create
Those who are consumed by their own madness and hatred are responsible for creating this strange and dangerous world.

Heroes or villains low
There is no clear line between good and evil, with those who were once seen as heroes reduced to villains.

The choices you make
The path you choose in life will determine whether you become a hero or a villain.

Have you seen the poison queen, sitting on your shoulder?
There is an entity that is trying to poison your mind and lead you down a path of negativity and destruction.

Don't you know what she says, can you not control her?
Even though you know that this entity is guiding you in the wrong direction, you feel powerless to resist its commands.

Read the hex like you read the stories, god is dead and you have no worries
The negative energy that surrounds you is like a hex or curse, something that you cannot escape. You feel as though there is no God to protect you, and so you have no choice but to accept this fate.

Forget ambition, fuck the vision, kill the lights and go to sleep
There is no point in trying to achieve anything or follow your dreams, as they will only lead to more pain and suffering. Instead, it is better to simply give up and let the darkness consume you.

The stalker is stalking and talking and talking, colossal power and wit
An entity or force is relentlessly pursuing you, using its immense power to try and destroy you both physically and mentally.

Pathetic, unethical and yes Unaesthetic, oh boy, you're so full of shit
Those who are responsible for the destruction and pain in the world are despicable and lacking in any moral or aesthetic values. They are nothing but liars and cheats who are full of deceit and negativity.

You're playing me tricks, six hundred sixty-six, the devil dictating the news
There are forces at work that are trying to deceive you and lead you down the wrong path. The devil, a symbol of evil and negativity, is the one in control, shaping the way you perceive the world through the media and other outlets.

I can't keep resisting, black dwarf's insisting, I'm so afraid of you!!
The negativity and fear that surrounds you is so powerful that you feel like you cannot resist it. The Black Dwarf is a constant presence, guiding you down the path of destruction and pain.

From the filth of the crucifix, to the stench of headlines
There is negativity and pain everywhere, from the twisted version of religion to the lies and deceit propagated by the media.

The dwarf is there, his ugly face is blocking the sunshine
The Black Dwarf is always present, blocking out any light or positivity in the world. His ugliness is a metaphor for the overwhelming negativity and destructiveness that he represents.

No taboos and no distinctions, fantasy creating fiction
There are no limits to the negativity and destructive power of the Black Dwarf, who creates a fantasy world that is completely divorced from reality.

And no one knows what to believe, so kill the lights and go to sleep
There is so much negativity and deception in the world that people have lost all sense of what is true and what is not. The best course of action is to simply give up and let the darkness consume you.
