Take this torch, sir,
Take it run.
Run to them,
And show what I’ve done.

Take it to town,
Let it burn houses down.
Be a warning to all,
I will not fall.

Through despair and disbelief,
I have taken everything.
The music will always play,
But only I,
Only I will sing.

So take this torch,
And let it scorch.
The innocence won’t last,
So run fast.

Take it to town,
Let it burn houses down.
Be my message to all,
I will never fall.
Never fall.

Silhouetted by me rage,
They locked me in this cage.
When I break these chains,
None of them will remain.

Please take this torch,
Take it from my hands.
Run to where they stand,
Leave them as sand.

But confess I had difficulty with the image
