Samarithan - Candlemass

One day I saw a man

Dressed in rags with a staff in his hand

Begging for a penny to survive

How poor a man can be

I gave him hospitality

A room a bed and lots of food to eat

Still I hear his last few words

I can never return what you've done

But heaven will remember and repay

Fifty years had gone since I saw him

I was dying and I'd soon be dead

Three angels stood in front of my bed

The first one she said to me don't be afraid

I'll give you immortality and grace for your soul

The second had eyes of gold gave me my wings

The third gave all wisdom an angel could give

To me

One day I saw a man dressed in rags with a staff in his hand

Begging for a penny to survive How poor a man can be I gave him hospitality

A bed and lots of food to eat I joined with my destiny

I knew I was born again an angel to be A vision beyond my dreams

Called me by nameo in devotion I spread my wings to heaven I had came to stay
