Crowds and torches fill the air. At first, to me as well it sounded like a witch hunt. However, I could not fit revenge into such circumstances.
"Surprise your chosen now finish it": Surprise that you yourself have become your own victim, now kill yourself.
"Identifying pride is the saddest of the chores": he has absolutely nothing to be proud of.
"Those burning eyes indeed define the churning of the soul": he's hurting to a point where others can see him hurt.
"Its better to be lost, but haven't felt the choice for so long": the pain has accumulated to a point where it can not be ignore.
"Fate has torched us for to long": His life or fate has been an agonizing experience and hes had enough. Now, he will take his fate into his own hands.
After 100 listens, it hit me out of the blue... he is taking revenge on his demons. Crowds and torches is a metaphor for "going all out" (per say) on his demons.
All of the above is strictly my own personal opinion. Please forgive my dark interpretations.
All that being said, there are a few lines that cast doubt regarding my own interpretation.
