A Torch To End All Torches - Thrice

Misguided satellite, I circle by habit

Can’t find my orbit to save my life

I want to fall, I want to burn like an ignorant craterless meteorite

Long ago I was derailed

Long ago the mission failed (my mission failed!)

But in the distance there appears a light

Disgruntled architect building a palace

Can’t make it perfect to save my life

Victimless crime ride the wrecking ball in

Evacuate now while I breathe dynamite

Efforts all to no avail

I’m perfection’s countervail (its countervail!)

Torn in pieces, I am made contrite

And in my darkest hour

The brightest light draws near to me

A torch to end all torches

This is the light that sets me free

All shadows burn away now

But by his grace I am sustained

Though all was lost

Now all is found and more is gained

Life me up

Make me whole

Lift me up and make me whole

Instill in me a new hope

Breathe new life into my soul
