Candle Lyrics

Candle lyrics

Look at the candle, as it's life is bought,
as the wick just rolls of and
dies;
look at the wax-drops as they cease from their goal
and the
game they were playing loses its joy
and the youth which they played in
runs away....
How long will you be gone?
Flames sucks at air now and
its breath comes short
as it wavers to half its size;
vacuum closes
in and it attacks the soul.
Now the force omnipotent itself is
destroyed
and for lack of itself it wanes away....
How long will you
be gone?
So does my mind fly as I fight my thought -
and I lose, for
I cannot find:
sent my eyes long miles, they do not know home!
For
the life I was part of breathes its last
and not only life, but hope has
gone away....
How long will you be gone?
How long will you be gone?
