Torchbearer Lyrics by Deterior

Torchbearer

2013

Shepherd me towards the light
The next shining path
Outstretched hands grasp a new sun
Shine lost to touches of dust

I have breathed my last where the starved linger
A new path rises under weary foot
Guide me through this unsacred tunnel
Bear your solemn torch

I will not bow before my corpse
I will not surrender to old egos
I will tear down my last shrine
I will take the passage

Heal these wounds
These scars are all deserved
Burn this trail
Erase these recollections
Digging deep
The last living part of me
Where will we
Come out in the end?

Prying open this cavity
Blinded by the surface
May you never settle
Putting out the torch
Luminance surrounding
May you always want
