Queensrÿche - 'Take Hold Of The Flame'

We see the light of those who find
A world has passed them by
Too late to save a dream that's growing cold

We realize that fate must hide its face
From those who try
To see the distant signs of unforetold
Oh... oh, take hold

From a haze came a rage of thunder
Distant signs of darkness on the way
Fading cries scream of pain and hunger
But in the night the light will guide your way

So take hold of the flame
Don't you see life's a game
So take hold of the flame
You've got nothing to lose,
But everything to gain

Ride, to a place beyond our time
Reach, for the edges of your mind, and you are there
See, that the light will find its way
Back to a place where it will stay, make it stay

Throw down the chains of oppression that bind you
With the air of freedom the flame grows bright
We are the strong, the youth united
We are one, we are children of the light

So take hold of the flame
Don't you see life's a game
So take hold of the flame
You've got nothing to lose,
But everything to gain

Το τραγούδι (το ποιο; Εεε, τον ύμνο ήθελα να πω) "Take Hold of the Flame" το γνωρίσαμε ως μέρος του εκπληκτικού δίσκου των Queensrÿche "The Warning" (το πρώτο τραγούδι της δεύτερης πλευράς) που κυκλοφόρησε τον Σεπτέμβριο του 1984.

Τον ίδιο μήνα "βγήκε" και αυτόνομα ως single (με το "Nightrider" στην δεύτερη πλευρά του βινυλίου). Η μουσική σύνθεση και οι στίχοι του εν λόγω τραγουδιού ανήκουν στον Chris Degarmo και στον Geoff Tate.
