Bet-

the

whis-

A

lone-

ly

can-

dle

fli-

and

it

slow-

ly

fades

In-

to

its

gra-

And

as

if

kno-

wing

En-

chant-

ment

slow-

ly

runs

her

fin-

gers

down

my

spine

A

jag-

ge-

d

line

Who

waits

for

me

?

Who

waits

so

long,

so

long,

so

long...

And

shall

I

wait?

For

dawn

won't

come

Or

shall

I

sink

in-

to

my-

self?

All

is

dis-

qui-

et

A

dark,

as-

sas-

sin

spi-

rit

draws

back

from

the

room

Time

folds

in

two

I've

vexed

him

sure-

ly

I'm

ra-

vaged

by

my

need

for

light

It's

all

I

feel,

all

I

see

I

live

and

breathe

and

cry

and

die

For

Lo-

ve

And

shall

I

cast

com-

po-

sure

down?

And

shall

I

wait

fo-

re-

ver-

more?

I

hear

so

sor-

row-

ful

a

sound

May-

be,

in

time

I'll

fly

a-

way

And

trade

these

wings

in

for

a

li-

fe

A

life

where

I

am

stron-

ger

and

A

place

where

there's

no

sleep-

less

nights

Or

Moon-

lit

ar-

ches

co-

ver

These

pain-

tings

and

these

sta-

stare

Chas-

tised

and

im-

here

a-

lone

Un-

your

sta-

So

was

it

all

worth

it?

To

sing

out

my

song

and

to

screa-

m

I

had

the

fi-

re

The

pas-

and

will

My

de-

mis-

for

dis-

lo-

I'm

lost

in

the

hea-

Sta-

tue

in

ti-

me

Like

ghosts

in

a

pri-

so-

n

And

come

un-

And

all

those

li-

out

their

lives

in

com-

of

ri-

Si-

and

de-

libe-

as

they're

coun-

out

their

coin

I

just

can't

re-

lin-

quish

my

o-

pi-

nion

that

I'm

so

much

diffe-

rent

In-

so-

lent,

their

sins

have

drug

then

down

in-

to

the

dee-

p

The

dee-

p

The

race

not

to

the

swift

The

prize,

she

just

ne-

ver

fell,

right

to

the

brave

A

long,

long

time

a-

go

And

some-

where

lost

in

all

the

rage

I

was

just

a

brush

stroke

a-

way

And

the

wind

has

caught

the

sai-

ls

No

one

who's

e-

ver

knelt

here

be-

fore

Has

stopped

to

count

up

the

cost

They're

gone,

gone,

lost

in

ti-

me

Can

love

be

so

in-

dul-

gent

that

it

blinds

you

to

your

faith?

And

in

the

end

the

weight

is

all

but

lifted

off

The

stars

con-

ti-

nue

on

their

course

And

you

fall

a-

way

All

comes

a-

round

A-

no-

ther

good

man

goes

down

He

floods

a-

wa-

y

Sor-

row

can-

not

bind

me

like

the

com-

mon

thief

I'll

come

out

and

I'll

shi-

ne

Just

like

a

cau-

All

of

the

raised

the

a-

It's

just

a

mat-

ter

of

words

spoke

Out

o-

the

ri-

of

time

Gone

off

to

war

or

gone

off

to

ha-

You

see

me

bran-

dish

the

torch

and

The

sword

of

your

fate

is

rea-

I

walk

a-

through

the

spi-

voi-

All

ac-

of

my

oh

My

sweet

flo-

love,

lost

in

vain

On

And

And

And

And

on

and

and

on.
