Standard (EADGBE)

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 me

All creation washed out to sea

All my nightmares come to me

Over and over and over again

Pride and passion both shall inflame me

Till oblivion comes hence to claim me

Who will light a candle?

Who can tell the story?

Messengers are waiting

At my door
