Hold a Torch Up
|
Over and over and over again You keep on paying for the same song Some heart-throbbing jerk keeps on telling you Just how much he really loved you and then He turns around and does you the same wrong But now you find out he's buyingand selling you Now, each time you think That he really will swallow his pride And turn over a new leaf Yet each time you sink Yes, he can really spill crocodile tears And play upon your grief. Haven't you ever even wondered Just what is the nature of the game? With all that he's won and plundered Could he ever hold up a torch, now Hold up a torch to your flame? Hold up a torch, now I'll hold up a torch to your flame. Over and over and over again You keep on paying for the same war And reborn tyrants keep on telling you Just how much they really need you and then They turn around and tell you they need more But now you find out they're busy buying and selling you Now, each time you think That you really are on the Right side Blood spills and fills the gutter Yet, each time you blink Or wish upon a star, after a while You can't even mutter. Haven't you ever even wondered Just what is the nature of the game? With all that they've won and plundered Could they ever hold up a torch, now Hold up a torch to your flame? Hold up a torch, now, I'll hold up a torch to your flame. Over and over and over again You keep on paying for the same things Does some dark wizard think he's spelling you With what will be available just when You have all the privilege that fame brings? Don't you know by now? He's just pea-shelling you Yes, each day you wait For your glory train makes it harder Now, for you to get on board Yes, each day you hate All that you can't explain makes it harder To know where truth is stored No, there's nothing beyond the beyond Beyond the beyond That cannot be known by you right here Where nothing that is inside the inside of you Isn't shown completely, now that isn't completely shown to you right here Over and over and over again You keep on praying to a dead god Yet refuse to let Love live in your soul Tell me, does it lose you any sleep then If it seem your god is on the nod? No, nothing is revealed unless you make a start Yes, each crime we blame On one another slams prison doors now And throws away the keys But, each time we claim One or another we help our souls soar And make each other free Haven't you ever even wondered Just what is the nature of the game? With all that's won and plundered Could I ever hold up a torch, now Hold up a torch to your flame? Hold up a torch, now I'll hold up a torch to Love's flame Won't you hold up a torch, now Let's hold up a torch to Love Let's hold up a torch Hold up a torch to love's flame! |
