Torchbearer Songtext
von Lovely Dark

At the waterfall
You felt the river pulling you in
Branching beneath your skin
The source was within you
Cut yourself open
Cut yourself open
And show me

Water falls
Slips between your fingers, your open palms
The truth is finally coming out
The mystery is spelled out in light
And I have seen it
I think that I′ve touched it
I found it in the waves
And all around me
Rising to take me
Rising to take me


When the spark begins to catch
Will it burn, will it burn, will it burn
These pages black
When the torchbearer lifts the lantern high
No disguise will survive in the light

Standing before the crowd
With your accusers gathering round
They're lighting the fire now
The mystery was spelled out in light
And you had seen it
I know that you touched it
The truth was in the flames
And everywhere it was all around you
Spinning around you, turning in orbit,
All the universe inside of you

When the spark begins to catch
Will it burn, will it burn, will it burn
These pages black
When the torchbearer lifts the lantern high
No disguise will survive in the light

Like seeds taking root in the ash
All that was meant to will come to pass
The fire′s beginning to catch
