A Candle In The Dark
Dreamer rise above the tomb
Goodbye lonesome haunted room
Eyes of laughter dawns revenge
Spreads his vision out like an open hand
A smile can open those sleeping eyes
Silver lined parcels of butterflies
Let freedom ring those bells of freedom
Unshaken by time lies a kingdom
Into the belly of a whale
Divine thrill of a reaching sail
Darkness blooms darkness sings
Travelled by dark feet and dark wings
One more candle in the dark
One more candle in the dark
One more candle in the dark
One more candle in the dark
In memory of the future
In memory of the future
In memory of the future
Rivers of truth in the wild west wind
In every seed in every stem
A giant's throne for a creature
The sky the sea the rain becomes your teacher
The whispering hemlock the mountain rain
Never changing ever changing
One more candle in the dark
One more candle in the dark
One more candle in the dark
One more candle in the dark
One more candle in the dark
One more candle in the dark
One more candle in the dark
One more candle in the dark
