a light so bright it can blind the eyes
a love so strong can’t break it no matter how hard i try
my candle of love, my candle of life
my candle of hope, my candle of despair
it burns within my heart, an eternal flame
never to extinguish even within a time of blame
my savior comes to me at my eleventh hour
given a second wind, unthinkable power
my candle of love, my candle of loss
my candle of hope, my candle of despair
it burns within my soul, this eternal flame
never to extinguish ‘cause i’m not one to play games
a flame so bright, more powerful than the sun
i’ve come to grips with the fact i can’t please everyone
my candle of love has burned away a loss
my candle of hope has burned away despair
it burns within my heart this eternal flame
never to extinguish, lost on the astral plane
