Take Hold of The Flame Lyrics

Take Hold of The Flame and achieve your dreams because you deserve it!                    

A song dedication to ALL OF YOU GO GETTERS! 

This song is dedication to ALL OF YOU GO GETTERS! A reminder to take hold of that flame to be the light of this world while you achieve your dreams!

This song and band gets me energized every day I listen to them. Listen to this song while reading the lyrics. Very powerful song in my opinion.

Play it loud!

Feel it and believe it!

Interesting fact; the singer here Geoff Tate started out his career a young man who liked to hang out with his buddies that had formed a band.

One day their lead singer Got sick and couldn't make the gigs that they had lined up. Geoff was sitting there with his rocker friends listening to Rush, thinking about what they were going to do.

Geoff started singing casually. When the base player asked him if he "could sing this stuff?" Geoff said, "I don't know" and agreed to give it a try.

Turns out he's an excellent singer! In my opinion the absolute best in the progressive metal genre. Take a listen.

I absolutely love it!

The point is and the lesson to this story is that Geoff didn't even know he could sing, let alone be one of the best. But the opportunity was there and he gave it a try.

Then in the 1980's Geoff joined with four other guys and became Queensryche!  All together as a team these guys produced amazing songs that have stood the test of time. And in a lot of ways was ahead of their time.

Listen to these words and let his voice energize you as they do me.

Whatever it is you have set out to do. Just do it, start now, take the opportunity, learn along the way, run the race and take hold of that flame!

We are children of the light!

We see the light of those who find

A world has passed them by

To 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 your 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
