Keeper Of The Flame

Out here under the stars

We've come so far but now the oxygen

Is getting very near the end

No time to lose anymore



Now lost and amazed

Smoke through the haze

Surrounds us everywhere

Heavy is the cross we bear

Too many moons out of phase



Where's the captain who steers this ship

Through the wind and the rain



Keeper of the flame

I wonder where you are

Gone like a shooting star

Bright but then quickly you fade

Keeper of the flame

You took the best of me

Into a stormy sea

What of the world we made?

Keeper of the flame



Somewhere under the stars

There was a turn to take but it's too late

The sleight of hand is second rate

No spell to cast anymore



Out there, over and done

Castles of sand

Where all the walls are thin

And every one is closing in

No time to think of scape



Where's the captain who steers this ship

Through the wind and the rain



Keeper of the flame ...
