Keep the flame

The shadow falls on me today
Why can't it fade into the distance

And darkness calls, no other way.
I rage at the riddle of existence.

The day's almost gone but you'll carry on
Can you keep the flame for me
The day's almost gone but you'll carry on
Can you keep the flame for me

A broken plan, a fleeting past
How do we always keep on trying

A tired man, is free at last
What would the purpose be of lying

My life's almost gone but you'll carry on
Can you keep the flame for me
My life's almost gone but please carry on
Could you keep the flame for me
Will you keep the flame for me
