|
Just a step cried the sad man |
|
Take a look down at the madman |
|
Theatre kings on silver wings |
|
Fly beyond reason |
|
From the flight of the seagull |
|
Come the spread claws of the eagle |
|
Only fear breaks the silence |
|
As we all kneel pray for guidance |
|
Tread the road cross the abyss |
|
Take a look down at the madness |
|
On the streets of the city |
|
Only spectres still have pity |
|
Patient queues for the gallows |
|
Sing the praises of the hallowed |
|
Our machines feed the furnace |
|
If they take us they will burn us |
|
Will you still know who you are |
|
When you come to who you are |
|
When the flames have their season |
|
Will you hold to your reason |
|
Loaded down with your talents |
|
Can you still keep your balance |
|
Can you live on a knife-edge |
