Torches

We lay them on the floor
One by one
Never too many to carry

We feel the warmth searing
Through our gears, they keep us moving
The promise, to keep the fires burning

As it pours
We bring them together
Never once we were alone
When it shines
We burn our brightest
And we fight the winds that were blown

We come together
To ignite each other
And combine our flames in glee
When we drop
We pick up for each other
And rekindle our problems free

Alas
This could not
Go on forever
What was strong
Was brought down by error

The flames extinguish
One by one
Hearts cry out in anguish

For the promise has been broken
By new chapters that have opened
Defilers of the circle, t'was their bidding

Smoldering charred placements
Whats left of the arrangements
Remains of the sacred flame

Refugees, victims and survivors
Outcasts, no, fighters
We perservere and carry our torches high

For we honour the sacred flame
As we spread to those we attain
To complete, the circle again

If you do understand what I'm trying to say here, you should know how upset it is to go through something like this. A flame promised to be kept burning shouldn't just be left to die out by itself.You don't need to kill a flame to feed a new one.
