Serving as a powerful comment on the dangers of censorship, "The Keeper" is as much a song about the importance of standing up to what we believe in as it is about the necessity to question any institution that aims to encroach on our right to freedom of speech
Lyrics
The Keeper
In an old tavern
The Faithful meet
In secret
They form their plan
Printed words
Empirical facts
The truth of which
Inflame
Repeating lies
To disguise
Thoughts that don’t conform
To their ways
On a hill
A Lighthouse
Lives the keeper of the flame
A light inside to provide
Guidance
in safety
The path is clear
The keeper proclaimed and cried
Battle over words
Freedom and Liberty
Battle over words
Freedom and Liberty
Battle over words
Morals and ideology
Free thought
Foiled Plot
Censorship won’t stay
The thought police
Defeated
Truth has won the day
