[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Thirteen candles, black and red, set alight, set alight
Thirteen candles, black and red, burning bright, burning bright
I always burn black candles in the night

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Thirteen candles, black and red, set alight, set alight
Thirteen candles, black and red, burning bright, burning bright
I always burn black candles in the night

[Verse 3]
I raise up my dagger to the light
Knowingly, the sorceress won't fight
I creep in from shadows cast away
She bathes in goat's blood, I hear her say
[Chorus]
Thirteen candles, black and red, set alight, set alight
Thirteen candles, black and red, burning bright, burning bright
I always burn black candles in the night
