Garathe Den
Candle
I curse the darkness
Then I light a candle
Where evil had control
It has lost its handle
Freed from my restraints
And it’s all a scandal
As I shine out the light
And reveal the vandal
The system, institution
The cult, religion
The source of agony
And what drives division
The collapse of sanity
Caught in indecision
Where an eye for an eye
Binds to cynicism
A sty in the eye
And a heart that’s frozen
Dreams drifting off
Feeling lost and broken
The lies overwhelming
The abyss an ocean
The deceit in your mind
Believed without a notion
The blind, deaf and dumb
Proceeding sermons
This indoctrination
Over every person
The weight of ignorance
Is a mighty burden
As you stumble in the dark
And embrace perversion
Then a light starts to show
Though faint, in flicker
Seeming far off
Yet gaining, quicker
As the darkness escapes
To evade its vigor
And your eyes must adjust
To portray the picture
Such abrasion
These eyes long dilated
In the holds of darkness
You have long since waited
Hope the path is revealed
To transform your hatred
But a heart without love
Is left often jaded
This candle is burning
The light a beacon
To pierce through your heart
And release your demons
To quell all your doubts
And restore your reason
To pull you from hell
And then show you Eden
We can shine a light
So that all may see
Let the candle burn bright
So that we may flee
From the lies we’re confined
And austerity
So we can finally see the truth
And let it set us free
