Candlelight

She came to me on strings of light
Composed of ashes from the sky
False prophets spoke of gold symphonies
But she spoke in simple melodies
She pierced the cold
My heart struck slow
She smiled and shared her candlelight

Vicious greed it led the blind
Gave a nickel for its worth in time
Plundered by a stomach of relentlessness
I relished for sweet forgottenness
She lit the night
My heart struck quiet
She smiled and shared her candlelight

A carapace where burnt iron lay
Funeral grounds for a world at play
Breaks my heart how that cuckoo sings
Don't tell her what her memories bring
She loved the lost
My heart struck false
She smiled and shared her candlelight

Putting away my misery is all I ever did
My money on the ocean, my soul well hid
Should ever the world deserve my wicked blame
May I fall in shambles, knowing nothing of my shame

A preacher bird cries out from plains of gold
The wronged and wrongdoers clamor for her soul
A watchful eye from inside the infirmary
And a fool's hope is all that tender be
She split the sky
My heart struck blind
She smiled and shared her candlelight
