lyrics

Looks like we lost,
Nostalgia like a cancer for days that never were,
you were miserable then your miserable now,
Yet never before did that thought occur,

Take up that torch,
Handed down by your fathers, and fathers before,
Take that torch now,
Burn down all you see,
Yesterday, today, and furthermore...

Given the blade I would cut off my hands,
Given the chance I’d forfeit my feet,
Take them to stifle plans,
Take them for fear of where this path leads,

Calling on the gods,
To show mercy for the violence of your own hand,
Watch the death toll tower,
And question their grace as you kill all you can,

A loaded gun gifted to thieves,
The storehouse keys placed in the hands,
Of the ones who'd gladly watch us starve,

I have no words to speak,
Says the wise man,
While the fool takes his crown,
