[Verse] A whisper crawls through the empty hall Shadows stretch They rise and fall No footsteps sound Just a sigh so faint Walls remember what the air can’t [Prechorus] And in the dark A spark ignites The ghost returns to light the night [Chorus] Phantom flame Dancing slow Flickering secrets only it knows In the silence It takes its claim The ghost that lights the candles Phantom Flame [Verse 2] The wick bends low The wax drips fast Time dissolves but shadows cast No hands to hold No breath to blow Yet every candle burns and glows [Bridge] Why does it burn Why does it stay A ghost with fire Chasing decay It doesn’t speak It doesn’t rest Just lights the dark Its lonely quest [Chorus] Phantom flame Dancing slow Flickering secrets only it knows In the silence It takes its claim The ghost that lights the candles Phantom Flame
