samarithan — текст песни (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
I joined with my destiny
I knew I was born again, an angel to be
A vision beyond my dreams, called me by name
So in devotion I spread my wings, to heaven I had came
.. to stay
