lyrics

THE CANDLE

Surrounded, she throws the burning candle
Turns and flees into the night
Abandons her ancient silver weapon
Broken, and still warm from the fight

Robed assassins, dead like statues
Holding hands in their delight
One’s in flames, moonlit smiles all around
They smell her fear, it satisfies

She runs for days, the sun won’t come
The desert’s empty, her body, her heart all numb
On the horizon, ash and ruin, fools and thieves
The murder drums

A circle is drawn and she plants her flag
One single word, written in black
She makes her hands
She moves her hands
In shapes of angels

And Justice comes with her attack
Justice comes with her attack
Justice come

She’s not locked in here with you
anymore
