The Candle
King Diamond · The Best of King Diamond [2003]
"Seven years have gone, it can no longer be left undone
The candle must burn again
And pain must follow the unholy flame
So burn, burn, burn
And free the spirit from its chain"
Here I am blinded again, by that flame
In every candle that I burn, burn!
I see that same face return, it returns
Eyes in pain, my little Queen are you a dream?
In every candle that I burn, burn!
I see that same face return, it returns
Time has come for you to tell the truth, what shall I do?
Tears are running from her eyes
If she could only tell me why, tell me why
The Jonah, the Jonah
In twisted key she speaks a word to me and then I see
Her face falling apart
The word "Jonah" is her mark, she's branded
The candle must burn again
And pain must follow the unholy flame
So burn, burn, burn
And free the spirit from its chain"
Here I am blinded again, by that flame
In every candle that I burn, burn!
I see that same face return, it returns
Eyes in pain, my little Queen are you a dream?
In every candle that I burn, burn!
I see that same face return, it returns
Time has come for you to tell the truth, what shall I do?
Tears are running from her eyes
If she could only tell me why, tell me why
The Jonah, the Jonah
In twisted key she speaks a word to me and then I see
Her face falling apart
The word "Jonah" is her mark, she's branded
