(over riff)
About to die – the crowds applaud you
About to die – they’ll resurrect you
E F#m A E
Light a candle up in kingdom come
E F#m A E
Light the way for the saviour’s son
F#m D (RIFF X2)
A candle burning bright enough to tear the city down
VERSE 2:
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
(INSTRUMENTAL OVER RIFF X7)
VERSE 3:
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
(FADE OUT OVER RIFF)
