The Candle Slowly Burns

instrumental intro

verse 1

In the darkest corners of my mind,

I hear a voice I don't recognize.

It's bleeding through me.

My thoughts echoing.

verse 2

Over and over, it says the same thing.

A failure of a man. Of a human being!

I got lost on the path towards my destiny.

I took a wrong turn. Became my own worst enemy.

chorus

As the candle slowly burns away

I've lost touch with my faith.

All those memories of love and grace

have slowly been replaced.

Anguish and despair are all that's left

as I fade into obscurity!

bridge

I no longer hold on to hope. I just let it be.

I drown in a fog of my own suffering!

hook

I've watched as peace turned to war.

As good men got devoured by force!

I no longer hold on to hope. I just let it be.

I drown in a fog of my own suffering.

Anguish and despair are all that's left

as I fade into obscurity!

verse 3

I dug my own grave and now I must lie.

Cover me up and just let me die!

Let my breathing slowly dissipate.

I wanna get out of my own way.

I dug my own grave and now I must lie.
