The Path

The candles burn With the flame of a thousand suns Yet the light is dim And the shadows run The cemetery gates Creak open wide Into this forlorn world Where the living hide I walk the path of thorns and bones The clockwork heart Beats in the dark Ticking away the endless night I walk the path of thorns and bones The clockwork ticks The shadows creep And I walk this path alone This path alone The raven caws, its eyes fixed on me King upon a tombstone Feathers black as coal Singing secrets of a forgotten place Where the dead and the living Once shared the same space The flicker of the candles Paints the graves in light Each step brings us closer to The truth we fear, the end we knew The shadows whisper secrets Of a love long gone Will we wander Through this world alone
