Who Will Light a Candle?

Stone walls guarding
These generations
Bound in circumstance
Blood relations

Who will light a candle?
Memories are fading
Messengers are waiting
At my door

Curtains hiding
Love’s sweet confusions
All God’s property
Fears of intrusion

Who will light a candle?
Maybe I was sleeping
Messengers are waiting
At my door

For me now there’s no love left inside of m
All creation washed out to sea
All my nightmares come to me
Over and over and over again

Pride and passion
Both shall inflame us
Till oblivion
Comes hence to claim us

Who will light a candle?
Who can tell the story?
Messengers are waiting
At my door
