Carry the Flame

[Verse 1]
Sometime the beast is sprung from its cage
From down in the dirt with fists full of rage
To walk through the fire without a name
To carry the flame

[Verse 2]
Born to the truth, born liek a slave
From the kingdom you came, a savior from the grave
For the innocent souls, for the strong and the lame
You carry the flame

[Chorus]
And the powers rule with no restraint
And soldiers fall like drops of rain
The battlefront scorched, the desert blood-stained
From the ashes, will we rise up once again?

[Verse 3]
Well someday the world may fight till its end
No people to lead on, no dream to defend
It's driving me crazy, this endless refrain
Still I carry the flame

[Instrumental Interlude]
Oh yeah, and it's still the truth

[Chorus]
The powers rule with their criminal campaign
While tears of mercy fall like sheets of rain
The angels cry out and sing their song again
With a hallelujah, amen...

[Verse 4]
Sometimes the beast is sprung from its cage
From down in the dirt, I'm coming with rage
There's no time to waste, who'll take our place, and who'll stop the rain
To carry the flame

[Outro]
To shine a light on all that remains
We carry the flame
Oh, we carry the flame
