  the spirit of the candle:
  "my mother was obsessed by evil jealousy
  she didn't want nobody to even look at molly
  she kept me locked up in this attic 'till i died
  only 4 years old, my story left untold"
  oh molly...oh molly
  "mother was struck by this infallible idea
  if she could paint my portrait i would remain immortal
  and i could hang downstairs above the fireplace
  a little girl in lace, not a single trace of crime"
  "each day and night she worked and autumn turned to
  spring
  for every stroke she painted a little life was ended
  at last i felt so weak i could not even speak
  but in that fatal portrait my spirit came to lfe again"
  oh molly
  "that night i made the portrait speak in evil tongue:
  you're gonna go beyond too, may pain and death bestow
  you
  she grabbed a book and spoke aloud an ancient rhyme
  while she burned the portrait in the candle of fate"
  oh molly
  "i've gotta se ma"
