The Torch Lyrics - Sing Loud, Sing Proud - Dropkick Murphys

Wash away all the lines on your face that show how you've aged it's a long way down 

Your back's been broken you can't make the rounds the tables are turned as the litany goes... 

You're a rotten old man who'll be covered in dirt on your knees 

And pray to the maker that caused you to bleed 

Turn back the hand on the clock 

You're a bitter old man who's done nothing 

But work your hands to the bone on the assembly lines 

You've grown cold to the touch of the ones that you love 

Ignorance is something you can't over come but you've passed it on down 

And that's something much worse for a bitter young man... 

Is now taking the torch 

Silent scorn - you've taken it out on the ones you adore Inside rage 

They've left you before but they'll come back again 

They'll pray for you with all their love 

But this time your indifference just can't be excused Forced amends 

Well it's something you'll die with but it goes on for them... 

For a bitter young man...has now taken the torch...
