Lyrics: The Afghan Whigs. Night By Candlelight.

Repeat these words after me in all honesty
Repeat these words after me
If you dare to believe this yourself

Am I vain? Have I shame?
Are my thoughts of a man
Who can call himself sane?

Do I blame all my pain
On the wickedness I have arranged?
If I do, bring it down

Repeat these words after me in all honesty
Repeat these words after me
If you dare to believe this yourself

Am I vain? Have I shame?
Are my thoughts of a man
Who can call himself sane?

Is my fate all the same
As the man who has
Walked the line straight?

If it is, bring it down
And I, I must rely, my dear
And I, cannot deny, my dear

There will be a reckoning
Which was, is
And is to come

Repeat these words after me in all honesty
Repeat these words after me
If you dare to believe
