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
