Discover the story of the song > Black Stone Wielder – candlemass

The lyrics are about a group of men who are travelling to Bethlehem to break a spell with the help of a black stone that has been passed down for generations. They are following a star and when they arrive, they greet a newborn baby with tears in their eyes and give him the stone. However, some evil wizards also wielded the black stone for their own selfish purposes and were later defeated when God's son was born to deliver them.
