Before The Rain
=============
Seven years it's been
Since I last held your hand
Seven years it's been
Hard for me to live
Without you…
Somewhere deep inside
I know there is light
In the night
In the night…
Through the cul-de-sac
I will go back
To the night before the rain
Through the cul-de-sac
I will go back
To the night before the rain
Before the rain…
Still I don't know what happened
On that dark, lonely night
The sidewalk was broken
And the shadows were deeper
Thank I had ever seen in my life
In my life…
Yet somehow I just knew I could feel
Feel you
Somehow I could feel
I could still feel you
Somehow I could feel…
Through the cul-de-sac
I will go back
To the night before the rain
Through the cul-de-sac
I will go back
To the night before the rain
Before the rain…
There's a whisper
Just a whisper of pain
And in the darkness
I'll wrap myself in shadows
So could I could remain
I could remain
Out of the rain
Yes, I will remain
Out of the rain
I must remain
Out of the rain
Out of the rain…
Through the cul-de-sac
I will go back
To the night before the rain
Through the cul-de-sac
I will go back
To the night before the rain
Before the rain
That night
That night before the rain
That night before the rain
Before the rain
Before the rain
Before the rain…
Before the rain…
Before the rain…
Still I don't know what happened
On that dark, lonely night…

Fading Away
===========
Fading low is the light
As I crawl off into the night
I know this isn't the time
But I'm falling down the line
Away from my past
Away at last
Away from my past
Away at last…
But what did we say
On that beautiful day
When all the lights came on
We noticed they were gone
But isn't that just the way?
When you're fading away
When you're fading away…
Coming forward, forward in the line
As we perform this perfect crime
Oh Mother, where is the sky?
Oh General, General why must I die?
I want to live now
You talked always of how
I want to live now
When you talk of how
What did they say
On that dirty day
When all the lights went out
We were ordered not to route
But you know it's just the way
What can I say?
I'm fading away
I'm fading away
I'm fading away
Fading away…

Back To You
==========
In the darkness
I feel the light
On my face
It's night
And in this darkness
It don't seem right
On the face
Of my troubled eyes
And I don't know
When I'll ever see you again
And I don't know
If I'll ever make through
And I'll never ever
Get back to you
Maybe in the end
This is all that we can do…
So in this darkness
I can feel
All that left behind me
In the mess
Behind me in that mess
Find me
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
Don't mind me
I'm a mess
Can you leave me to rest
Please don't mind me
And I'll never get back
Back to you
I'll never get back
Back to you
Back to you

Away From The Dark
=================
Will you remember all the times we shared
Away from the dark?
Will you remember everthing we did
Away from the dark?
Or must I restate
The question
My question?
Running away
Away from the dark
Will you remember all the times that we shared
Away from the dark?
Will you you remember everything that we did
Away from the dark?

The Love Song
============
Once I was all alone
But now I've found a home
I've felt pain for so long, now
So I must move on…
Outside is a calm night
And the people are dancing in the light
I know everthing will be alright, now
So I can sleep tight
Below down in the streets
This is where you & I can meet
I love you so much, now
I don't know what I'd do if you leave
I love you so much, now
I don't know what I'd do if you leave
I love you so much, now
I don't know what I'd do if you leave

In Your Arms
==========
If there was a way
I could talk to you
I'd show you the stars
I've been out all day
Running to you
To show you the stars…
But life is a long road
And the night is dark & cold
So tonight you sit on the bed
Ghosts flying through your head
You're alone and I'm far away
But tonight I wish I could stay
In your arms
The night is all you have
When you're alone
But we'll make it if we try
Together in our arms
Together through the storm
Together in our arms
Life is a long road
When you don't know
But we'll make it if we try
Together in our arms
Together through the storm
Together in our arms
And life is a long road
When you don't know
But we'll make it if we try
Together in our arms
Together through the storm
Together in our arms
And night is dark cold
When you've no home
And we'll make it if we try
Together in our arms
Together through the storm
Together in our arms
Tonight you sit on the bed
With the ghosts flying through your head
You're alone and I'm far away
But tonight I wish I could stay…
'Cos tonight you sit on the bed
With ghosts flying through your head
You're alone and I'm far away
But tonight I wish I could stay
In your arms
In your arms
In your arms
In your arms…

I'd Die For You
============
I don't know why I cried
I don't know what I did tonight
I don't know why I died
But I do know I have tried
And it seems all my dreams
Came crashing too soon
And I know that in the end
I'd die for you
So this is here to stay
So this is what lovers say
And this is torn away
For this is dying today
And it seems that our dreams
Came crashing true blue
And I know that in the end
I would die for you
I knew when I came
I knew that I was the same
I know all the shame
And I know just what I became
But it seems that all your dreams
Came crashing too soon
And I know that in the end
I'd die for you
I would die for you
I'd die for you

Titan Spring
==========
We once ventured to Titan
And left our moon behind
Both of us feeling enlightened
Trusting ourselves flying blind
Blind to the power of gravity
The binding of Saturn's rings
That robbed us of our velocity
When we crashed on that Titan spring
Cracks in the ice were forming
I could see a new world below
When suddenly without warning
You slipped on the nitrogen snow
I listened all the way down
You were screaming into your comm
And then there wasn't a sound
"Oh my god it's so beautiful"
Those were the first words you said
"Under the ice it's wonderfuf
There's a crystal sky overhead"
So packing up our provisions
I ventured onto the ice
To locate your last position
And find Titan's paradise

Don't Refrain
===========
Twenty-nine years it's been so long
Since I felt the rain or heard a song
Twnety-nine maybe more
That I've been in pain looking out this door
Where can I go now
Out into this dark world, my friend
And where can I go now
Now that I'm free
Free to be anything in the end
Don't stop to patronize
Don't stop the tears in my eyes
Don't stop all the pain
Don't remain
Don't refrain
Don't stop to patronize
Don't stop the tears in my eyes
Don't stop all the pain
Don't remain
Don't refrain
The road to hell is paved with good intensions
And we walk this road of our own free will
Our choices are our only constraints
They're a prison of our own making
So I walk the road encumbered by this freedom
Hoping to choose the next destined path
Don't stop to patronize
Don't stop the tears in my eyes
Don't stop all the pain
Don't remain
Don't refrain
Don't stop to patronize
Don't stop the tears in my eyes
Don't stop all the pain
Don't remain
Don't refrain
Don't stop to patronize
Don't stop the tears in my eyes
Don't stop all the pain
Don't refrain
And don't remain…

A live performance featuring newer songs, old songs dug out from the Candle vault, & a couple of improvisations. Again, Candle logged onto an online streaming service with no intention of worrying about an audience, plugged in his guitar, & bore his soul for all to hear.
Vanguard Of Fate is a chronicle of that performance.
See You In The Shadows…
