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 ...
