A flickering flame lights the night
Illuminating dim lit sky
Will you speak or will you hide?
Speak to me, sweet Adelaide.
Winter’s chill and ashen clouds
Paints a picture for me now
whether you burn bright or should you puff out
like a candle in the wind
What should I fear, what should I believe?
Does the leviathan truly have a reprieve?
Or does me he wishes to deceive
over and over again
All the words left unspoken
Should you venture more than your token
Become another promise yet to be broken
Then, what will become of you?
When the pains of your heart burn deep inside you
Pull you left and right and try to confuse you
I wonder, what will you do then?
Do not fret, I will not leave
It’s a promise I made and intend to keep
By your side is where I’ll be
Until you no longer need me
I’ll stay with you and be your guide
I’ll help you through the toughest times
But you’ll no longer deceive these ears or eyes
For the words you speak, are like winter embers in July.
