Starting a band, need opinions on my lyrics! Please metalheads answer!?

Candle/ candles in the moonlight/ candles/candles bright/ candles light in the moonlit night!/ Candles!/ Candles in the night!/ we/ we gather to day/ our eyes on the altar we sing and sway./ Candles!/ Candles in the night!/ we/ we remember,/ we remember our fallen brother's might!/ Candles!/ Candles in the night!/ Candles!/ Candles in the night!/ You can see us in our motley crew/ Candles!/ Candles in he night!/ YOU can hear our voice that''s ragged but true!/ Candles!/ Candles in the night!/ Candles in the night!/ candles in the night!/ (slower) Brothers/ fallen Brothers./ Fallen brothers have a place on the stage in the sky!/ (tempo 1) Candles!/ Candles in the night! (last line x5 with gradual decrescendo)

Please note: the slash marks are phrasing marks to show the lines and pauses.

Update:

I'm planning on hiring a singer with a Dio-ish vioce, and yes, it's pretty aggressive, but I woudn't say screaming, though. The sohg is about remembering those who have passed on. That's why I say candles so much, and mention altar. It was inspired by the passing of my grampa Shoosh (that was his nickname).

    You know, it IS hard to read this song without the tune. Besides, you need to spread out your vocabulary besides saying the word 'candle.'

    Otherwise, it would probably sound like a cool, dark song. Most likely it could be played on the piano for the beginning, then go in with a slow solo and a slow drum beat. As you go along, start to make the tempo (speed of the beat) go faster towards the middle of the song and keep that fast tempo until the end and end it with the piano playing again. THAT would make those lyrics fit right in with the song.
