Candlelight in the Graveyard

I walk alone where the cold stones sleep

Under candlelight, the secrets keep

Names in the dark and the silence wide

I hear my heartbeat where the moonlight hides

Every shadow knows my name

Still I stand through the ache and pain

If the night is where I must begin

I'll let the trembling light pull me in

Through the trees, you're down on fame

I can breathe and sow the shame

With the candles burning low

I find the strength to let it show

And if the dark comes close tonight

I'll turn my fear into light

I was lost, but now I see

The shadows can't bury me

Broken glass in the frosted air

Silent prayers hanging everywhere

But the rusted gates and the weathered stone

Can't keep a soul that's still my own

Every shadow knows my name

Still I stand for the ache and pain

If an eye is bare, I must begin

I'll let the trembling light pull me in

Through the graveyard, I won't fade

I can breathe inside the shade

With the candles burning low

I find the strength to let it show

And if the dark comes close tonight

I'll turn my fear into a light

I was lost, but now I see

The shadows can't bury me

And the wind may call the dead by name

But I won't bow to the same old shame

I carry dawn in a fractured chest

A quiet fire that outlifts the rest

Through the graveyard, I'll fade

I can breathe inside the shade

With the candles burning low

I find the strength to let it show

And if the dark comes close tonight

I'll turn my fear into light

I was lost, but now I see

The shadows can't bury me
