Keeper Lyrics by Overkill

ReliXIV

2005

[Verse 1]
When I feel the pressure rise
My heart beats through
The shadow of your hollow eyes
At any cost
When I steal into those eyes
Your sun beats through
To take me by complete surprise
And is all lost

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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, now

[Chorus]
Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper lives in your eyes
Keeper, strike as to offend
When all has gone awry
Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper lives in your sky
Keeper, strike and to defend
A keeper by your side

[Verse 3]
Spit your truth upon the plate
That feeds the need
To justify without mistake
For God's sake
Run your hope throughout my veins
That keeps us safe
And gives us faith to cleanse the pain
For our sake

[Pre-Chorus]
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, now

[Chorus]
Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper lives in your eyes
Keeper, strike as to offend
When all has gone awry
Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper lives in your sky
Keeper, strike and to defend
A keeper by your side

[Bridge]
Lock it up in liberty
Hide in sight for all to see
Having might and purity
Kept in sight for you to be

[Refrain]
Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper lives in your eyes

[Chorus]
Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper lives in your eyes
Keeper, strike as to offend
When all has gone awry
Keeper, blind to the godsend
Keeper lives in your sky
Keeper, strike and to defend
A keeper by your side
