The Keeper Lyrics - Songbook - Chris Cornell

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 this road to become 

A battlefield 

And before I let one more fire go out 

Understand that I won't give one inch of ground 

From beneath yours and my feet 

Whatever the price happens to be 

I may not be the keeper of the flame 

But I am the keeper

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Beauty and truth collide 

Where love meets genocide 

Where laughter meets fear 

Confusion all around 

And as I try to feed these mouths 

That have 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 ooooh 

Photos 

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 yeahhhhh 

I am the keeper
