“Flickering Flame” was the first pre-release for Wolves At The Gate’s third album Types and Shadows, released in mid-September 2015.
Thematically, the song describes the desperation of someone who fears they will lose their passion and resolve for Christ amidst hard times – yet being reminded that...
[Intro]
Oh, I wanted to see a fire ablaze in my heart
A flame not full of smoke
[Verse 1]
I know Your love is a fire
(Why am I so cold?)
My flesh it screams, “You’re a liar”
(Those cries are so old)
The smoke ascends, the embers dim
(Just follow its trail)
Help me I’m weak and so frail
[Chorus]
I’m waiting for a reaction
(And the motions in between)
I’m looking for You
(Looking for you)
[Verse 2]
Every night I watch and wait as my candle’s burning out
Every night I scream and shout as my patience turns to doubt
Stay with Me, my flickering flame
Stay with Me, I know your name
Quit your fight, it's all in vain
When your flame takes flight, it will last the pouring rain
I’m waiting, flame smoking, and fading out
I’m fading, withering, will I weather?
I’m waiting, sustain me, help me weather
I’m fading, flame smoking, flickering and fading out
[Bridge]
Oh, I wanted to feel the fire before mine goes out
A flame so bright it blinds
[Chorus]
I’m waiting for a reaction
(And the motions in between)
I'm looking for You (Looking for)
I'm waiting for a reaction
I’m looking for You, right now
[Outro]
Stay with me flickering flame, I know your name
Every night I’ll watch and wait as my candle’s burning out
Every night I’m filled with doubt I will cry to You and shout
