Finding a little faith somewhere - starting on the inside.
The demo below is by Kris Sandberg (melody, vocal, his band with the music), a good friend from Germany - we’ve collaborated on some very different projects - and it’s always a lot of fun. Thanks Kris!
Candles For Krishna
Lyrics: Mick Evans / Music: Kris Sandberg
Deceiving the days - doubting the nights
staring at strangers - smiling back from the mirror -
faking faith to believers - turning saints into sinners
fighting angels with demons - burning-up in this fever
A fast-running face - no place to hide
trapped in two people - peering out from these eyes -
writing notes to myself - sending angry replies
sorry no-one’s at home now – seeing sense in the lines
Yeh, it’s a long way back - to break-even
Now it’s time to make peace
lighting candles for Krishna -
sowing seeds on the inside
reaching-out for Nirvana -
Yeh, it’s time to make peace
candles for Krishna -
feel that flickering flame
candles for Krishna
Your life calls my name - whispers my fate
chasing for answers - praying change ain‘t too late -
so lost losing my ways - shedding years of dead skin
black eyes drowned on the outside - burning deeper within
Yeh, it’s a long way back - to break-even
Now it’s time to make peace
lighting candles for Krishna -
sowing seeds on the inside
reaching-out for Nirvana -
Yeh, it’s time to make peace
candles for Krishna -
feel that flickering flame
candles for Krishna
Just keeping the faith - falling under your spell
feel your hand in my hand - feel that flame in myself
see the light in your eyes - guiding me home again
home again – home again…
Now it’s time to make peace
lighting candles for Krishna -
sowing seeds on the inside
reaching-out for Nirvana -
Yeh, it’s time to make peace
candles for Krishna -
feel that flickering flame
candles for Krishna
