Suddenly seeming These eggshell rifts Caving into your hands Can't sustain this breathing It weighs on my chest These lungs are filled with water from the tide From the tide And I watch them go by Can't define a purpose Though hands set adrift In eyelids, cobwebs forming Realize through the vapor Some strange trembling gift In sleep, I dream of houses in the sky In the sky And I watch them go by Sometimes I'm pulled away From my own misery Your hands cover me Eyes drift slowly Sleep the summer chill In sheets of linen Hush the static sound Of time dispersing Sometimes I'm pulled away From my own misery Your hands cover me Eyes drift slowly Sleep the summer chill In sheets of linen Hush the static sound Of time dispersing

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 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 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

Oh, the beauty of a King You make righteous those who seek You have written and redeemed my story Let my eyes see Your kingdom shine all around Let my heart overflow with passion for Your name Let my life be a song, revealing who You are For You are salt and light Oh, the love that set me free You bring hope to those in need You have written and redeemed my story Let my eyes see Your kingdom shine all around Let my heart overflow with passion for Your name Let my life be a song, revealing who You are For You are salt and light You are love's great height You are deep and wide A consuming fire You are salt and light You are love's great height You are deep and wide A consuming fire Let my eyes see Your kingdom shine all around Let my heart overflow with passion for Your name Let my life be a song, revealing who You are For You are salt and light You are salt and light For You are salt and light For You are salt and light
