Candlelight

(album: Hunted - 2016)

Three tall bony fingers stretched into the night
Topped with hope against the rising tide
Illuminating what waking tries to hide
Propped up by the content of your soul

Though I can't see
The illusion still remains
I was at first alone
Fears given life by a flickering light
Beyond the lucid veil

Haunted by what resides beyond the glow
Its poison spilling deep within my mind

Though I can't feel
The illusion still remains
I was at first alone
Fears given life by a flickering light
Beyond the lucid veil

Now, from the void, it emerges
Cloaked in horror
Nightmares of flesh and bone
Nothing

So reveal the darkened figure
Eyes adjust to the flame
Creeping like those bony fingers
Stretching into the sky
