Light the Torch

Light the torch and stand by its flame

Then plunge right into the deep and dark.

And when the light touches everything, hark,

You will hear them say your name.

Light the torch and protect the flame.

And stand before it, stiff and stark.

And when the light's still aglow, hark,

You will hear them say your name.

Light the torch, and be not smirched by its flame,

For the light does cast a shadowy mark.

And when you are still as yellow as the light, hark,

You will hear them say your name.
