Who Will Light a Candle?

Stone walls guarding

These generations

Bound in circumstance

Blood relations

 

Who will light a candle?

Memories are fading

Messengers are waiting

At my door

 

Curtains hiding

Love’s sweet confusions

All God’s property

Fears of intrusion

 

Who will light a candle?

Maybe I was sleeping

Messengers are waiting

At my door

 

For me now there’s no love left inside of me

 

All creation washed out to sea

All my nightmares come to me

Over and over and over again

 

Pride and passion

Both shall inflame us

Till oblivion

Comes hence to claim us

 

Who will light a candle?

Who can tell the story?

Messengers are waiting

At my door
