Act II – The Dance of Fear: 5) Candles on the Windowsill

(Lullaby with eerie undertones) [Verse 1] Candles on the windowsill, Flicker soft, but never still. Shadows dance across the glass, Waiting for the night to pass. [Chorus] Candles on the windowsill, Guard you when the air turns chill. But if they fade, the dark comes in, And whispers crawl beneath your skin. [Verse 2] Watch them closely, don’t look away, If they burn out, you can’t stay. Every flame’s a fragile shield, Once it’s gone, the dark revealed.
