[From "the book of jonah"]

"7 Years have gone, it can no longer be left undone

The candle must be burn again, and pain

Must follow the unholy flame

So burn... Burn... Burn

And free the spirit from its chain"

Here I am blinded again by that flame

In every candle that I burn, burn!

I see that same face return, it returns

Eyes in pain, my little queen are you a dream

In every candle that I burn, burn!

I see that same face return, it returns

Time has come for you to tell the truth, what shall I do

Tears are running from her eyes

If she could only tell me why, tell me why

The jonah... The jonah

In twisted key she speaks a word to me, and then I see

Her face falling apart

The word "jonah" is her mark, she's branded
