Lyrics

Night By Candlelight

Repeat these words after me

In all honesty

Repeat these words after me

If you dare to believe this yourself

Am I vain? Have I shame?

Are my thoughts of a man who can call himself sane?

Do I blame, all my pain

On the wickedness I have arranged?

If I do, bring it down

Repeat these words after me

In all honesty

Repeat these words after me

If you dare to believe this yourself

Am I vain? Have I shame?

Are my thoughts of a man who can call himself sane?

Is my fate, all the same

As the man who has walked the line straight

If it is, bring it down

And I, I must rely, my dear

And I cannot deny, my dear

There will be a reckoning

Which was, is

And is to come

Repeat these words after me

In all honesty

Repeat these words after me

If you dare to believe
