Black Candle
BLACK CANDLE
Sabbatical thy nature; evil rein.
Supremacy of thought, the constant flow,
An opening to life, that brief Beltaine,
the window through all time, you'll ever know.
The Devil to his day, his time is near,
you feel it, death the constant, life the bore,
you must light one black candle, while it's here,
to sap the power you've been looking for.
The dead will speak, if open is your mind,
but do not hope, if hope's not all of you,
forever though it seems, one night you'll find,
persistance is the tool that pulls it through.
You must become the flame, that burning wick,
or else become the melted candlestick.
