| The Candle Burns Like a Lighthouse on some craggy shore Guiding a lost ship in the wrong way Til is crashes and flounders in the surf Sails rip and masts snap Men are flung into the torrent The Candle Burns Like a lightbulb in a rats nest apartment Nowhere, USA In the corner a runaway cowers Hiding from her past, scared of her future A needle stuck in her vein, releving pain The Candle Burns Like the fires in the pits of Hell Lost souls wander Moaning out for someone to help Poked and proded by Satan's legions Agony, Fear, Pain - they shriek The Candle Burns I try to snuff it out and it burns my fingers I try to walk away and it burns brighter I close my eyes and it fills my head still The one who lit it is no longer here But it burns still The Candle Burns Scaring my soul Burning my heart Filling my head |
