The Torch [German translation]

We are living on

On the time that we borrowed

Unforgiving tomorrow

My friends

And now we see

The blueprint of our destiny

We're losing the chance to be

Young again

We've smoked the twine

Chopped up a line

You oay the dues, you pay the fine

We did the crime

But you will do the time

We are no soldiers of your future

Stay hungry, foolish, young

Stay hungry, foolish, play along

And the world you're living in is all we gave

We're passing on the torch, passing on the torch

Be strong, be brave

Be strong, be brave, stay young

So now it's all gone bad

And the world's gone mad

The life we're living can be so unforgiving

When birds are singing in the night

Oceans, deserts, they all collide

The world turns much too fast

What will ever last

The heart of an idealist

Utopia for realists

The future is the present, the present is the past

I faked a smile for an extra mile

My music took me far

The city just closed down the bar

Where I used to play guitar

Stay hungry, foolish, young

Stay hungry, foolish, play along

And the world you're living in is all we gave

We're passing on the torch, passing on the torch

Be strong, be brave

So be strong, be brave, stay young another day

(Take on the torch)

Stay hungry, foolish, young

Stay hungry, foolish, play along

And the world you're living in is all we gave

We're passing on the torch, passing on the torch

Be strong, be brave

Be brave, be strong, stay hungry, stay young

We gave the truth a chance, and now we are

We are passing on the torch
