Candel of Hope!

[Verse 1]
Midnight weighs like iron chains
Whispers carve their crooked veins
Shadows feast on every breath
A kingdom ruled by silent death
I claw the walls of my own skull
Echoes laugh where hope is null
But deep inside a flicker fights
A rebel spark in endless nights

[Pre-Chorus]
Trembling hands, a fragile flame
One more gust could kill its name
Still it burns, defies the dark
A war-cry born from one small spark

[Chorus]
Light the candle of hope
Let it roar through the storm!
Though the wind howls and rages
I’ll keep it warm
Every scar is a story
Every tear fuels the fire
I’ll carry this candle of hope
Through the funeral pyre!

[Verse 2]
Demons wear the masks of friends
Voices swear the pain won’t end
Pills and prayers both turn to dust
Faith corroded, turned to rust
But in the mirror, cracked and cold
A warrior’s eye begins to glow
The abyss stares back no more
I stare harder, settle the score

[Pre-Chorus]
Steel in veins, the wick held high
I dare the dark to watch me try
One more breath, one more stand
I’ll forge the night with my own hand

[Chorus]
Light the candle of hope
Let it scream through the gale!
Though the heavens fall broken
I will not fail
Every scream is a hammer
Every wound builds the spire
I’ll carry this candle of hope
Through hell’s own choir!

[Bridge]
(spoken, rising)
I’ve kissed the blade, I’ve begged the rope
I’ve danced where angels fear to cope
But something ancient in my bones
Refuses silence, claims its throne
RISE!
The wick ignites, the wax runs red
A funeral march for thoughts long dead
From ashes climbs a titan’s frame
I AM THE FLAME!

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
One small light
Against the endless night
Still it burns
Still it burns
