The Keeper

There's a war outside and it's hiding in plain site

I heard a call but I turned away to keep out the night

You know the steps from ancient times

Your ancestors built the bridge

But you've turned your minds eye from mother nyx

My fruits grow deep

In soils of gold

They bare life

They bare pain

They run cold

When we forget who we are

When it is easier to hide than face it all

Was it pride that poured water on the flame?

That kept your soles from running rivers

Kept you tame

Won't you release me

Please release me

You know what is required

To free the Keeper to your Fires

I know I'm worthy

Of all that I desire

I'll meet you in the fire
