Keeper Of The Flame

Mother mother, gotta understand
That mother mother we've got murder on our hands
Your sons & your daughters
Rapin' eachother on the steps of a church
They no longer depend on
The cry of a wolf in a lightnin' storm
The scream of a hawk
Anxious to get airborn
The fear of a mouse crawlin' out of a hole
Just a few of many stories waitin' to be told

Hungry for good no boogie in the scheme
And baby the sky will never be the same
From many miles away I came
Where the gods smile upon you & play

Your job may be no good, it's just a passing thing
The universe will always change
And I happen to carry a name
I am, I am the keeper of the flame

A message carved into an arm with a shark tooth
Ever so delicate, ever so smooth
The truth is only waitin' and it stabs a deeper wound
Than all the lies the vagabonds have whispered over you

Hey, hey, hey, look out for the drifter on a train
Hey, hey, hey, look out for a showdown in the rain
With the keeper of the flame

So gather all your hunters, and gather all you prey
Listen to what the wind and the trees have got to say
To all you marble statues and your bricks of clay
Blow you all to kingdom come on your judgement day!

Hungry for good no boogie in the scheme
And baby the sky will never be the same
From many miles away I came
Where the gods smile upon you & play

Your job may be no good, it's just a passing thing
The universe will always change
And I happen to carry a name
I am, I am the keeper of the flame

A keeper of the flame
I am a keeper of the flame
A keeper of the flame
A keeper of the flame
A keeper of the flame
A keeper of the flame
