about a man haunted by his wife, lost to cancer.
Lyrics
Black Book Candle
Black Book Candle, easy rider, sun is bolder, the moon is brighter
Banded horsefly, evil pigsty, gilded gallows, broken necktie
Poison Nightshade, flameless lantern, sunken wife’s grave, boneless cancer
Scarlet billows, shrouded muslin, Displaced husband, lonely dancer
But now she stands alone at the top of the stairs
Hold’s up the phone but nobody’s there
Black book candle’s burning light
Black book candle’s burning life
Black book candle burns all night
Black book candle, turning pages, mumbled chanting, silent rages
Crooked adder, ring less Saturn, darkened journey, specter pattern
But now she stands alone at the top of the stairs
Hold's up the phone but nobody’s there
Black book candle’s burning light
Black book candle’s burning life
Black book candle burns all night
Shifting stasis, shattered mirror, floating faces, growing nearer
Cold embraces, empty linen, endless races, is life worth living
