The keeper of the flame 2x Pay your tax Pay the rent Like a hamster goes round Waiting for the 25th But your mouth's never full But there's a better life, better care Choose it well, you get only one life So ask yourself, is this it? Maybe there's a better you out there Carefully crawl back into your mind Find your old self, make changes R: These are the laws that we make These are the hands held in chains Must scream and shout In order to light up the dark These are the beds that we make Burning like ash in a tray Must scream and shout To be the keeper of the flame The keeper of the flame 2x Careful now, just a show Nothing really tests you, no No one cares if you make all the money in the world Carefully crawl back into your mind Find your old self, make changes R: It's just a rhythm, that's all Hold on, there's more Barely withstanding the rage Hold on, cool down in rain These are steps being brave To be the keeper of the flame Just be the keeper of the flame Hold on to the keeper of the flame Forever the keeper of the flame Oh yeah R: These are the laws that we make These are the hands held in chains These are the beds that we make Burning like ash in a tray Must scream and shout To be the keeper of the flame The keeper of the flame 2x Hold on to the keeper of the flame Forever the keeper of the flame The keeper of the flame 2x
