Within Temptation
"Candles" lyrics

Candles

Take away
These hands of darkness
Reaching for my soul
Now the cold wind
Blows out my candles
Feeling only fear
Without any hope

A thousand dark moons
A thousand winters long
A million fallen stars
The candle burns in the womb

We tried not to forget
They live through us
Slowly they die away
At every candle's end

A thousand dark moons
A thousand winters long
A million fallen stars
The candle burns in the womb

We tried not to forget
They live through us
Slowly they die away
At every candle's end
