The Candle Burns

Verse 1] Tired of silence, but there's no faith in words, The door is closed, and I sit all alone. The shadow of resentment patrols the floors, Among my own, I feel like I'm unknown. No one knows the darkness deep inside, Though I never wished my loved ones any wrong. I stare with sorrow at the world outside, A foreign world where I do not belong. [Chorus] A candle burns and cries with bitter tears, My chest aches like a chasm has appeared Between us. But I'm silent, hoping you will see, My soul is aching, it's about to break free. [Verse 2] But there's my wife, the one and only fire, She will save me when the darkness falls. She'll offer me her firm and steady hand, And drive away the cold and all the dread that calls. I love my family, I'm ready to depart for them, Let's hope my leaving goes completely unseen. On this difficult, this path of life I stem, For love, I answer to the Lord, to be redeemed. [Chorus] A candle burns and cries with bitter tears, My chest aches like a chasm has appeared Between us. But I'm silent, hoping you will see, My soul is aching, it's about to break free. [Chorus] A candle burns and cries with bitter tears, My chest aches like a chasm has appeared Between us. But I'm silent, hoping you will see, My soul is aching, it's about to break free.
