Appetite for Candlelight Lyrics

Clouds roll by, the wind begins to grieve
A cold embrace, my hand against your grave
Beneath the rain of weeping leaves
Am I awake beneath the lake?
I tried to join you for my own sake
You overheard the fatal words of a wicked place

Where a tower wakes the worst, before this
Undone universe, if you understand the curse
The death knell will chime

AND THIS TIME WILL LAST FOREVER
ONCE IN A WHILE WE DIE INSIDE
BARELY ALIVE IN THE RIVER OF LIFE
SHATTERED AND LONELY IN THE ENDLESS GRIND
CRIED A RIVER BY STARLIGHT
CUT BY THE SHARDS OF A BROKEN HEART
SORROW AND TEARS
MEET THE SHIMMERING STREAM
ONLY TO LEAVE ME IN A COLD AND EMPTY DREAM

You, you got something about your heart That turns the skies so dark
Is there something about my eyes You can’t help but terrorize
The candles burn away the night As you plan my love’s demise
The mouth of jealousy unmasked, recites the words

Of a place that wakes the worst before this
Undone universe, if you want to break the curse
To the sky you must climb

AND THIS TIME WILL LAST FOREVER
ONCE IN A WHILE WE DIE INSIDE
BARELY ALIVE IN THE RIVER OF LIFE
SHATTERED AND LONELY IN THE ENDLESS GRIND
CRIED A RIVER BY STARLIGHT
CUT BY THE SHARDS OF A BROKEN HEART
SORROW AND TEARS
MEET THE SHIMMERING STREAM
ONLY TO LEAVE ME IN A COLD BUT BEAUTIFUL DREAM


The mourning chokes the candlelight
I try to scream as you pull me into the night

TIME WILL LAST FOREVER
ONCE IN A WHILE WE DIE INSIDE
BARELY ALIVE IN THE RIVER OF LIFE
SHATTERED AND LONELY IN THE ENDLESS GRIND
CRIED A RIVER BY STARLIGHT
CUT BY THE SHARDS OF A BROKEN HEART
SORROW AND TEARS
MEET THE SHIMMERING STREAM
ONLY TO LEAVE ME IN A COLD BUT BEAUTIFUL DREAM

SORROW AND TEARS
MEET THE SHIMMERING STREAM
ONLY TO LEAVE ME IN A COLD AND EMPTY DREAM
