Keeper - Rome

Tell me, keeper, will my brother come?

To the temple garden

Where we all lie as one

O, and I’ll let you triumph for a while

One sudden foil

And so we die while traitors sleep

While mother weeps

And his shame lives in me, brother

Tell me, keeper, will my brother come?

For if I bow, they’ll say it was for fear

And if I vow, they’ll say it wasn’t real

With hollow hearts we go and let this robe

Serve as a flag of truce

With hollow hearts we go

Tell me, keeper, will my brother come?

I saw the scavenger

I saw him feast

I heard the messenger

I heard him preach

He must hold his tongue…

Tell me, keeper, will my brother come?
