About to die - the crowds applaud you

About to die - they'll resurrect you

Light a candle up in kingdom come

Light the way for the saviour's son

A candle burning bright enough to tear the city down

About to die - the crowds reward you

About to die - their cheers ignore you

Light a candle up in kingdom come

Light the way for the chosen one

No candle burned with fire enough to tear that city down

About to die - the crowds applaud me

About to die - they'll resurrect me

Light a candle up in kingdom come

Light the way for the savior's son

A candle burning bright enough to tear the city down
