We, The Torchbearers

The great torch falls to the soil
There it flickers and roils
Our sorrow won't fuel it forever.

We all must carry the torch
We all must carry the memory.

Death! Takes your fire! Takes your innocence!
When you bury a brother
Death! Takes your fire! Takes your innocence!
When you bury a sister.

You have to accept there is nothing to be done
You have to accept that this has happened
You have to accept this begins a new chapter
You have to accept you can never go back
Who you were is now dead.

Heave the torch! Carry the torch!
We all must carry the torch!
We all must carry the memory.

Hold fast! To the Earth! For rebirth!
Thou modern Baldr
Hold fast! To the Earth! For rebirth!
Thou modern Persephone!

You are at a new beginning
You are lost without bearings
A sailor without the stars
A chapter without yet words.

You shall find navigation
You shall find your story.
