Threefold Pleasure

Verse 1

Two candles at the table watched us

Burning down while we held still

We said we'd make it last forever

But we understand each other too well

Night falls on us

Verse 2

A quiet knock breaks through the quiet

She slips her hood off at the door

She lights a third one steady-handed

Now the fire wants a little more

Chorus

Three candles burning hotter

The supper of the shadows

Three candles burning hotter

Power redistributed slow

Verse 3

We all know the truth between us

But silence is the pact we keep

No slow decay has ever found us

Only what we choose to reap

Chorus

Three candles burning hotter

The supper of the shadows

Three candles burning hotter

Power redistributed slow

Bridge

The shared chalice passes round

A threefold pleasure found

The truth that no one says aloud

Lives in this darker crown

Chorus

Three candles burning hotter

The supper of the shadows

Three candles burning hotter

Power redistributed slow
