remember to leave a light on
burn a candle to my memory
I may be lost and nearly gone
but there is still a part of me

I courted death while I danced
such weariness in this life
never hesitated to take a chance
and this is all that's left of me

join me now in this place
my carven tomb of lonely stone
I never really conformed to this world
this is the place that's all my own

no one ever understood my fears
such things in light to frighten
the darkness was my only refuge
a place to call my sanctuary

you see me now with no regrets
a lingering shadow of a wraith
remember to leave a light on
and light a candle on my grave
