Torches

The soul of the nation slowly withers

In the howl of the empty wind

As the spring lays crushed beneath the hammer

The invisible flame

My vision sears the crowded square

As the mouth of injustice grins

This routed

Fire runs through my veins

I choose to expire

As the steel in my nerve sets in

You're all on the brink of compromise

I carry the cries

Mass concessions in defeated eyes

In my end a new world begins

A terrible kindness to break the thrall

It's not me who dies

I strike the match

And let it fall

Oppression injustice self-immolation

I am the inferno I am legion

Oppression injustice self-immolation

I am the inferno I am legion

I am the inferno I am legion

Some run screaming

Some sit silently

An agonizing gift of charred humanity

My footsteps

They will echo through eternity

A seismic scorching outcry of indignity

I write my blackened name carved into the wind

I fill your hearts with rage

I leave you ash and legend

Fire runs through my veins

A terrible kindness to break the thrall

Fire runs through my veins

Oppression injustice self-immolation

I am the inferno I am legion
