The Keeper Lyrics |
|
|
|
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 the road to become |
|
a battle field |
|
|
|
and before i let one more fire go out |
|
understand that i won't give one inch of ground |
|
from underneath your's 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 |
|
as i try to feed these mouths |
|
that 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 |
|
|
|
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 |
|
i am the keeper |
