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 ...
