Poets Of The Fall - The Ballad of Jeremiah Peacekeeper lyrics

He stares out the window, blank as a canvas Made up in the sunlight and swirling smoke and ash He waits for a breath Now, taking his time, he sees an eternity in a blink of an eye And for him this life is made of time and choices And endless blend of vistas painted bright with memories The here and now will bow to him to only serve one purpose To keep your peace He takes on the world all in a stride, and your wounds will be his scars So won't you remember when the night comes He will need your open arms For to be invincible, he needs your love He stands in the doorway, quiet like yesterday With forgotten thoughts become a mystery and nightmares locked away He looks like a gunman, but his view is much too wide For such a solution, so he fights without a six gun on his side And all the while his stars and moon shine brightly Outside the desert wails a curse of rage and jealousy And yet tomorrow comes along and shifts to serve his purpose To keep your peace He takes on the world all in a stride...
