I was on the staircase by the bell Blinded by the black magician's spell Sorceress of death lay by my side Rising of the blood came with the tide 13 candles, black and red set alight 13 candles black and red burning bright I always burn black candles in the night I began my ritual of sin Exorcising demons from within Casting spells of yearning and desire We breathe in black smoke from Satan's fire I raise up my dagger to the light Knowingly the sorceress won't fight I creep in from shadows cast away And she bathes in goat's blood I hear her say 13 candles, black and red set alight 13 candles black and red burning bright I always burn black candles in the night
