Lyrics

0:21I come from far away
0:23My boots don't know this ground
0:26They know it's real
0:32It doesn't take too long
0:34The road to become
0:37A battle field
0:42And before I let one more fire go out
0:48Understand that I won't
0:49Give one inch of ground
0:53From underneath
0:54Your's and my feet
0:57Whatever the price
1:00Happens to be
1:02I may not be the keeper of
1:05The flame
1:09But I am keeper
1:26Beauty and truth collide
1:29Where love meets genocide
1:32Where laughter meets fear
1:37Confusion all around
1:39As I try to feed these mouths
1:42That never known singing
1:48And before I let
1:49One more tear hit the ground
1:53I will be the one
1:54Standing between you and
1:57The sound of the rounds
2:00Echoing out out of the dark
2:05The smoke and the spark
2:08Aimed at the heart of the flame
2:15I am the keeper
2:26I cannot see the light
2:29At the end of the tunnel tonight
2:32My eyes are weary
2:37And before I let
2:39One more life get erased
2:42From the ashes I will rise
2:45For you and the ghosts of the names
2:49Faces is an frames
2:52The love and the pain
2:54For you I remain though I'm not worthy of
3:00Being the keeper of
3:03The flame I am
3:10The keeper
3:19I am the keeper
I come from far away
My boots don't know this ground
They know it's real
It doesn't take too long
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 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
Faces is an 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
