The Candle Lyrics - The Parlotones

Night-time gobbles up the sun like some 

All-you-can-eat buffet not satisfied with a meal for one 

Stars pierce the skies 

Like bullet holes in violent times 

The moon paints itself on a canvas 

Blacker than the heart of Hades 

If the devil and the lord decide to talk 

I'm not picking sides 

I don't really mind 

As long as there's compromise 

I've tasted good 

And I've tasted bad 

I'm in between the inside 

There'll be good times 

There'll be bad times 

I'll be by your side

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I'll be the candle when your days are dark 

City lights flicker up the skies 

Like a jewelry box for the gods 

Mankind's excess has filled the world with regrets 

You read the news today 

It made you cold and so afraid 

It's black and white is full of fright 

I'll keep you safe throughout your life 

If the devil and the lord 

Both drop their swords 

I'm sure we'll be just fine 

Nothing's ever solved through turmoil and fight 

Flavours tasted 

We need to savour 

The sugar and spice we call life 

When midnight sweeps the skies 

I'll be your guiding light

I'll be the candle when your days are dark 

Crickets provide the soundtrack 

To this nightfall's stealth attack 

Frogs the baritone 

As they perch upon their lily thrones 

Moonlight slowly dies 

As sunlight comes to life 

Exploding through the stratosphere 

Like fireworks on new years 

If the devil and the lord decide to talk 

I'm not picking sides 

I don't really mind 

As long as there's compromise 

I've tasted good 

And I've tasted bad 

I'm in between the inside 

There'll be good times 

There'll be bad times 

I'll be by your side 

I'll be the candle when your days are dark
