lyrics

This is the Torch Song
And so I march on.
What’s done is done,
Because it must.
So I must burn on!

In these strange plays, no two roles share equal weight.
Some pull the strings, and others take the bait.
In these strange plays, reversals seem commonplace.
Are we finding comfort in futility?

This is the Torch Song
But it’s too far gone.
The scale’s upturned,
Reduced to dust.
So I must burn more!

In these strange plays, the characters we create
Play tug of war, and other power games.
In these strange games— I say the boards should be razed.
No more! Finding comfort in futility.
Finding comfort in brutality.
Finding comfort in mundanity.
Finding comfort in insanity.

I am the Antichrist; A bittersweet messiah!
I conjure truth within the flames and
I’m a coming after ya’

This is the Torch Song
But it’s the last one.
What’s done is done,
Because it must.
So I must burn all!
