Whisper and stare at the dance before you
Flickering by the dawn of the hazy dusk
Hold faith close as one holds a candle

The shadows only surround your mind
If you let it run wild with chaos
Whisper and stare at the dance before you

They scream and they scowl like a crow
Ripping through prey during its chilly hunt
Hold faith close as one holds a candle

One reaches out and opens its maw
As another follows suit, then another, then another
Whisper and stare at the dance before you

You fall and drop the warmth of the hearth
Its tepid wax slowly seeping into the void
Hold faith close as one holds a candle

The hope might be gone, but you must brave through
Igniting the candle as you reach the end of the song
Whisper and stare at the dance before you

The trail is ending, the shadows relentless
But a small flicker bring in memories
Memories of laughter, of love, or passion
No need to whisper, but stare
At the Candle’s dance before you
As faith holds you close
