Candle of Africa

In the heart of Africa
 

Under a candle of moonlight 

Candles burning bright 

Sacred candle flames 

Burning with the spirits of African ancestors 

Faces of African spirits glow in the candle flames 

The lighting of the candles

The beating of the drums 

The donning of tribal masks

A dance of fire and rain

Sacrifice of blood and fire 

Candles and smoke

The flames of Africa burn like a candle

A candle of Africa that burns with the flames of their ancestors
