The Merchant And The Blue Candle Lyrics

The ocean breathes it's rhythm delivering my senses, reality is welcoming
Remind me what I'm doing; is this where I've been living?
This cave attempts to swallow light
Will it swallow me instead?
Is this what I hoped for?
A light in the darkness intoxicates,
drawing me closer with no escape to my fate
You are my only light, I found you now you're mine, carry me through the night
You are my only light, I won't leave you behind, I'll guard you with my life
He told me of your glory, about your unheard story,
How could I be the first to hear?
Your light could keep me living, your warmth returns my feeling
But if I shared you, would you leave?
Would your light abandon me?
Is this what I hoped for?
Your love told me nothing would be the same
This has no ending if I'll just stay
Where I'm safe
Will you burn out when I'm gone?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
