CHRIS CORNELL - The Keeper lyrics

rate me

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
