Black Candles

Black candles burn low
Shadows climb the walls
The clock's stuck on midnight
No one hears the calls
Whispers in the corners
Secrets in the air

Flicker
Flicker
Do you see
The light that bends to mystery

Black candles
They never lie
They dance for truth under a blood-red sky

Black candles
They see it all
Rise and fall
Rise and fall

The flame's a prophet
Speaking through the night
It twists
It turns
It knows wrong from right
The wax drips slow
Like tears you never cried

Black candles
They never lie
They dance for truth under a blood-red sky

Black candles
They see it all
Rise and fall
Rise and fall

The light betrays the sinner's grin
The shadows know where you have been
No running
No hiding
The truth will crawl
Black candles tell it all
