Sixteen candles burn tonight
Lights flicker shadows fight
Whispers in the dead of night
Can you hear my soul's plight
Torn jeans and heavy boots
Lifeless stares and broken roots
Searching for forgotten truth
In the ashes of our youth
Sixteen candles they burn slow
In the gloom the feelings grow
Darkness whispers what we know
Sixteen candles flicker low
Silent cries in smoky air
Haunted dreams we both share
Will we escape this nightmare
Sixteen candles light our prayer
Eyes so hollow lost in time
Fading memories of the climb
In the shadows love's a crime
Sixteen candles mark the rhyme
Sixteen candles they burn slow
In the gloom the feelings grow
Darkness whispers what we know
Sixteen candles flicker low
Eyes so hollow lost in time
Fading memories of the climb
In the shadows love's a crime
Sixteen candles mark the rhyme
Sixteen candles they burn slow
In the gloom the feelings grow
Darkness whispers what we know
Sixteen candles flicker low
