Torches
Torches of Hope: A Symphony of Resilience and Redemption
Lyrics
We stand on opposite ends of the world
We are in distant places on Earth.
Reaching up over your head
Reaching above your head.
Stretching the sky like a flag of azure
Extending the sky like a blue flag to prevent its collapse.
To keep it from falling again
To maintain its stability and avoid a fall.
Feeling the weight of it pushing you down
Feeling the pressure, pushing you downward.
cccelerating your trip to the ground
Speeding up your descent to the ground.
To the ground
Reaching the ground.
We fight the ires of misfortune
Confronting the anger of unfortunate events.
Waving our arms in the air
Waving arms in the air in defiance.
Sway in the light of our torches
Swaying in the light of torches.
Pray like there's somebody there
Praying as if there is a divine presence.
We cry out fathers and vengeance aside.
Expressing cries for fathers and setting aside thoughts of revenge.
See how malevolence spins, in a cycle
Observing malevolence in a cyclic pattern.
Presently carving the future in stone
Actively shaping the future in stone.
To crumble to dust in the wind
That eventually crumbles to dust in the wind.
Is it our nature we can't overcome
Questioning if it's our inherent nature that we can't overcome.
Marching the path of us coming undone
Marching along the path of our unraveling.
To the pounding drums
To the beat of pounding drums.
We fight the ires of misfortune
Fighting against the fires of misfortune.
Waving our arms in the air
Waving arms in the air in defiance.
Sway in the light of our torches
Swaying in the light of torches.
Pray like there's somebody there
Praying as if there is a divine presence.
Dance through the world and it's song of cacophony
Dancing through the chaotic world and its cacophony.
Watch as the wise lead the blind off the balconies
Observing the wise leading the blind off balconies.
Laugh as all the solid ground you walk upon dissolves
Laughing as the solid ground dissolves beneath your feet.
Crash through the world view you fell into look where you stand
Breaking through the worldview you fell into and assessing your current position.
