(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
