Candles Are Crying

Candles are crying for love, candles cry
They shed tears for those who failed,
His life to live not so... otherwise...
All giving and taking nothing in return...
Candles cry hot wax melting
Its fine, but a living soul...
And tears of wax completely destroying all
Our thoughts... thoughts... and sins...
You come in and there in the Church, light a candle,
Light a candle for you that never came true...
And then, perhaps, before the icon,
Your sin before God will pour wax...
