These Candles of the Night
They ever softly glow
Singing light into the darkness
With their melancholic flow

These Candles of the Night
They stand to light the path
To show the evils the abyss brings
As it tries to render its wrath

These Candles of the Night
With their mesmerizing gleam
They man a dam filled with hate
And bursting at the seams

These Candles of the Night
May dull but never ebb
For more appear, burning bright
To mend and fix the web

These Candles of the Night
Continue to fight a battle never lost
To frighten horrors best not seen
To fade away the frost

These Candles of the Night
Can you see their embers?
Just think of ashes raining down
And you'll need to remember
