Shimmering glow as your wax it falls Dancing light show on the walls Lighting the path with your silver glow Showing us the way to go
Your life is brief, you burn out fast And unlike us you have no past We dwell on memories as we thrive But you have none, are you alive?
We trust your guttering smoky haze To light us through our many days And when your gone we feel no pain Although your sparkling smoke remain
Do you feel sorrow as you burn low Or feel a pain when time to go ? Your light still shining in our eyes We ne're have time for soft goodbyes
No heart to break, no tears to shed You do not lie in lonely bed And when your light goes out at dawn You leave behind no one to mourn
For heart you've none to cause you harm Your only task is light and warm And brief as though your life may be Oh candle do not envy me
