Use the Light, Ignite the Flame

The keeper of the nighttime flame Stands vigil in the courtyard of emotion Where he enlightens the many who wander Through the entrance of new found love His light teaches the many of burning heat It lights the way for all to find their hearts As they may have been locked behind The walls outside these very gates
