Paroles de Candlelight

Three tall bony fingers stretched into the night Topped with hope against the rising tide Illuminating what waking tries to hide Propped up by the content of your soul Though I can’t see The illusion still remains I was at first alone Fears given life by a flickering light Beyond the lucid veil Haunted by what resides beyond the glow Its poison spilling deep within my mind Though I can’t feel The illusion still remains I was at first alone Fears given life by a flickering light Beyond the lucid veil Now, from the void, it emerges Cloaked in horror Nightmares of flesh and bone Nothing So reveal the darkened figure Eyes adjust to the flame Creeping like those bony fingers Stretching into the sky
