THE LAST CANDLE

The candle is burning down
and darkness is crawling in
its claws in my soul
and its teeth in my sin
feasting like a goat in clover
And the sound of your voice
has left me no choice
to escape, to depart and forget
and the echo of tears
has covered the fears
and revealed remorse and regret
to take over and seal the wounded soul.
And I accept the rule
kneeling down on the floor
with no words to say
being hurt at the core
speechless and bare as a rock
Unable to move
I remain in this cave
running empty on love
and not being brave
like a fist that can't even knock
And the sound of your voice
has left me no choice
to escape, to depart and forget
and the echo of tears
has covered the fears
and revealed remorse and regret
to take over and seal the wounded soul.
I forget to breath
and my hands are tied
standing against a wall
and facing the night
I fade and I silently leave
And words just tumble
like a drunk at night
who lost his direction
and who lost the fight
and who's passion is hard to retrieve
