Keeper
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I feel the pressure rise
My heart beats through
The shadow of your hallow eyes, at any cost
When I steal into those eyes
Your sun beats through
To take me by complete surprise, and is all lost
And when I fear, what I hear
A voice cuts through the shadows
Like a razor knife, to pay the cost
To disappear, far to near
And cast a light that falls upon
My darkest night, but is all lost
Spill your sacred water
On your sacred ground
Chant your holy verse
Unbound, unbound
Sacrifice your daughter
Kill your fatted cow
Orchestrate the slaughter
It's now, now
Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper, lives in your eyes
Keeper, strike as to offend
When all has gone away
Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper, lives in your skies
Keeper, strike and to defend
A keeper by your side
Spit your truth, upon the plate
That feeds the need
To justify without mistake
For god's sake
Run your hope through my veins
That keeps us safe
And gives us faith to cleanse the pain
For our sake
Spill your sacred water
On your sacred ground
Chant your holy verse
Unbound, unbound
Sacrifice your daughter
Kill your fatted cow
Orchestrate your slaughter
It's now, it's now
Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper, lives in your eyes
Keeper, strike as to offend
When all has gone away
Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper, lives in your skies
Keeper, strike and to defend
A keeper by your side
Lock it up in liberty
Hide in sight for all to see
Called through night and purity
Kept in sight for you to be
Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper, lives in your eyes
Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper, lives in your eyes
Keeper, strike as to offend
When all has gone arye
Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper, lives in your skies
Keeper, strike and to defend
A keeper by your side
