There go my clan,
And there go my kin,
Influence lingers,
Stalked by the sins,
Committed in blindness,
Redemption escapes on the wind,
This world is distorted,
Perceptions untrue,
Relearning morals,
Re-meeting the few,
How can this graveside,
Teach me anything new?
Take up the torch,
Carry the fire,
Take up the torch,
Lift up higher
And higher,
The waters are rising up,
Keep the flame burning,
So we must climb,
Lend me a hand,
And I swear that I will not back down,
Monstrous regiments threaten the gates,
Ingenious craftsmanship keeps us all safe,
Have we mistaken intentions and is it too late?
Kneel at the words of the wisest of men,
When power corrupts their minds, who do we send,
To contradict, expose and take up a challenge to them?
Take up the torch,
Carry the fire,
Take up the torch,
Lift it up higher,
And higher,
The waters are rising up,
Keep the flame burning,
So we must climb,
Lend me a hand,
And I swear that I will not back down,
A book with our names in,
A plan their for each of us,
Mapped out with certainty,
No chance to fail,
Score out my name,
And leave me to run with the fools.
