The Keeper of the Light 🕯️ Epic Symphonic Metal Ballad

For centuries the light has never gone dark again. On a lonely island stands a lighthouse with no keeper — yet sailors still see a black figure raising his hand, guiding every ship safely home through the storm. This is his story. — LYRICS — A thousand sails have followed my flame, through the long dark miles of the cold and the rain, home to the harbor, to arms open wide, to the ones who still wait by the side of the tide. I once knew that longing, that ache to be home — a light in a window, a love of my own. How long ago now... I have long lost the years, and the cold of this watch is the salt in my tears. So I stand through the tempest, I burn through the squall, I will carry them home — I will not let them fall. And now for all these lonely years I stand and keep the light, to carry every ship back home through the teeth of the night, back to the ones who wait for them, back to their native shore — the way that someone once waited for me... and waits no more. They say no living soul walks that stone, just a tower of light on an island alone — no keeper, no hand, since the day men could bind the lightning in glass, burning blind through all time. But the crews that sail past tell it low, tell it pale: a black silent figure where the cold breakers fail, in the clothes of an age that is buried and gone, with his eyes burning bright, and a half-stolen song — he lifts up his hand: "you are safe, sail on through," and the sea-mist comes down... and the old tale is true. And now for all these lonely years I stand and keep the light, to carry every ship back home through the teeth of the night, back to the ones who wait for them, back to their native shore — the way that someone once waited for me... and waits no more. For there came a night when the heavens went to war, a monstrous black storm out of ages before; it strangled the fire, it smothered the light, and a ship met the rocks in the blind, screaming night. The keeper went down where his own beam had died, and no flame ever carried him back to her side — so he swore to the deep he would rise and remain, that never, no never, would the light go dark again. And still I will stand till the last of the ships finds the light, I will carry them all the way home through the teeth of the night, back to the ones who wait for them, back to their native shore — the way that she once waited for me... ...and waits no more. ⚔️ Epic heavy metal — symphonic, power and melodic metal with cinematic emotion.
