We, the Torchbearers
Embracing the Torch: Navigating Loss and Rebirth in Thrawsunblat's Melodic Saga
Lyrics
The great torch falls to the soil
The significant guiding force or inspiration diminishes and touches the ground.
There it flickers and roils
It sputters and churns, perhaps signifying instability or struggle.
Our sorrow won't fuel it forever
Our grief or sadness won't indefinitely sustain it.
We all must carry the torch
We each have a responsibility to carry this symbolic burden.
We all must carry the memory
We all hold the responsibility of preserving the memory associated with it.
Death! Takes your fire! Takes your innocence!
Death steals the passion and purity.
When you bury a brother
When you lay a fellow brother to rest.
Death! Takes your fire! Takes your innocence!
Death steals the passion and purity.
When you bury a sister
When you bury a sister in death.
You have to accept there is nothing to be done
Acceptance of the inevitability of certain events.
You have to accept that this has happened
Coming to terms with the reality of the occurrence.
You have to accept this begins a new chapter
Recognizing the commencement of a new phase or era.
You have to accept you can never go back
Understanding that there's no returning to the past.
Who you were is now dead
The past self is now gone or transformed.
Heave the torch! Carry the torch!
Lift the burden or responsibility, take it forward.
We all must carry the torch!
Each individual has to bear this symbolic responsibility.
We all must carry the memory
Each person must uphold the memory associated with it.
Hold fast! To the Earth! For rebirth!
Hold onto the ground, perhaps for a renewal or revival.
Thou modern Baldr
A reference to a figure from Norse mythology, possibly indicating resilience or connection to the Earth.
Hold fast! To the Earth! For rebirth!
Hold onto the ground, perhaps for a renewal or revival.
Thou modern Persephone!
A reference to a figure from Greek mythology, possibly symbolizing resilience or connection to the Earth.
You are at a new beginning
At the start of a new phase or stage.
You are lost without bearings
Feeling disoriented or directionless.
A sailor without the stars
Analogous to being adrift without guidance or a clear path.
A chapter without yet words
A new period without defined narratives or structure.
You shall find navigation
Eventually, finding direction or guidance.
You shall find your story
Eventually, discovering one's purpose or narrative.
