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.
