| I come from far away | |
| My boots don’t know this ground | |
| But they know it’s real | |
| It doesn’t take too long | |
| For this road to become | |
| A battlefield | |
| And before I let one more fire go out | |
| Understand that I won’t give one inch of ground | |
| From beneath yours and my feet | |
| Whatever the price happens to be | |
| I may not be the keeper of the flame | |
| But I am the keeper | |
| Beauty and truth collide | |
| Where love meets genocide | |
| Where laughter meets fear | |
| Confusion all around | |
| And as I try to feed these mouths | |
| That have never known singing | |
| And before I let one more tear hit the ground | |
| I will be the one standing between you and the sound | |
| Of the rounds echoing out | |
| Out of the dark | |
| The smoke and the spark | |
| Aimed at the heart of the flame | |
| I am the keeper ooooh | |
| I cannot see the light | |
| At the end of the tunnel tonight | |
| My eyes are weary | |
| And before I let one more life get erased | |
| From the ashes I will rise for you and the ghosts | |
| Of the names the faces and frames | |
| The love and the pain for you I remain | |
| Though I’m not worthy of being | |
| The keeper of the flame | |
| I am the keeper yeahhhhh | |
| I am the keeper. |
| I come from far away | |
| My boots don' t know this ground | |
| But they know it' s real | |
| It doesn' t take too long | |
| For this road to become | |
| A battlefield | |
| And before I let one more fire go out | |
| Understand that I won' t give one inch of ground | |
| From beneath yours and my feet | |
| Whatever the price happens to be | |
| I may not be the keeper of the flame | |
| But I am the keeper | |
| Beauty and truth collide | |
| Where love meets genocide | |
| Where laughter meets fear | |
| Confusion all around | |
| And as I try to feed these mouths | |
| That have never known singing | |
| And before I let one more tear hit the ground | |
| I will be the one standing between you and the sound | |
| Of the rounds echoing out | |
| Out of the dark | |
| The smoke and the spark | |
| Aimed at the heart of the flame | |
| I am the keeper ooooh | |
| I cannot see the light | |
| At the end of the tunnel tonight | |
| My eyes are weary | |
| And before I let one more life get erased | |
| From the ashes I will rise for you and the ghosts | |
| Of the names the faces and frames | |
| The love and the pain for you I remain | |
| Though I' m not worthy of being | |
| The keeper of the flame | |
