Friar's Lantern Gleam

It is given softly a kiss
Ghostly shape, begone
Over water, rippled flames
Afloat they dance
Share the secret of your chimes
With the gloomiest bells, yet rung so bright
In awe, we drift

Frightened of the fire
That the friar's lantern bears
Burdened, lost, though heightened
By the friar's lantern gleam

Branches crackle at my steps
Show, I'm not afraid
Lurking specters guard the gift
In grief
And my swamps are full of corpses
All disposed of late at night
Where the spirits soar to break free

Lifted by the will-o'-wisps
In a crucible of coloured bliss
I now hold the fire
That the friar's lantern gleams
