lyrics

The keeper of the keys
is watching from the waterside,
he's waiting for the ferry man
to take him for a ride.

The keeper of the keys
is fated to be engaged,
to someone who is invisible
and locked in their own cage.

The keeper of the keys, he's not like you and me,
he changes with every stranger that he meets.
The keeper of the keys, he'll never set you free,
Because you're animal and criminal and something that must be beaten....

The maker of the waves
is waiting for the full moon tide
He's not fated to be otherwise
Every storm is his to ride.

The angel of the dark
is staring through your window.
No more demons bringing broken dreams,
It's time to burn all your back-pages.

The keeper of the keys, he's not like you and me,
he changes with every stranger that he meets.
The keeper of the keys, he'll never set you free,
Because you're animal and criminal and something that must be beaten....

The keeper of the keys.

The keeper of the keys, he has no place in society.
