When I was alone, my sweetheart arrived
Tolling of the bells of pride
There among a pasture, surrounded by wolves
You, the only lamb in sight
I was only grateful you’d stay by my side
Chosen are the few who’d fight
Though I’ll never say it, I’d surely survive
When you are the one holding light
So carry the torch
Until the end
All my days rise and fall
Til I see you again
Carry the torch
Until the end
Run away from despair
Hand in hand
Carry the torch
Until the end
All my days rise and fall
Til I see you again
