[00:07.73]Once carried through the current, and being swept away
[00:13.36]The king is in his closet, he's hiding from today
[00:19.36]And though he owns all fortunes, this room is where he'll stay
[00:25.17]And his world is filled with darkness, turning grey
[00:31.80]Gazing out the window of the forty-second floor
[00:37.17]He is separate from all others, no one knocks upon his door
[00:42.92]And it might as well be raining, 'cause the sunlight hurts his eyes
[00:48.79]And his ears will never hear the children's cries
[00:54.49]Once proud and full of passion, he fought the cause of man
[01:00.11]Many people loved his courage, many followed his command
[01:06.05]He changed the old into the new, and the course of things to come
[01:10.86]And then one day they noticed he was gone
[01:17.36]At first it didn't matter, nobody seemed to care
[01:23.04]They all became too busy to find him anywhere
[01:28.56]But no one knew not even him, the problems he would find
[01:34.55]On the day he journeyed deep into his mind
[01:41.05]I close my eyes, I go far away
[01:44.05]Away from this battlefield
[01:46.74]In my dreams, well
[01:49.99]Here I will enjoy it
[01:52.68]Where innocence plays with all
[01:55.24]The laughing children
[01:58.56]The kind who are crying right now
[02:04.43]A taste of freedom from the pain
[02:07.81]Of everything here I see
[02:10.43]Life is sweet but I took it all for granted
[02:16.56]And now I don't know if I could even tell you
[02:22.49]Just what we permit, we allow
[02:28.68]Allow me to forget the life I've made my own
[02:33.87]I've held this nation in my hand, and yet it's not my home
[02:39.49]Oh, allow me just one answer, and one reason why
[02:45.31]Why this refugee of the family of man must die
[02:50.81]Tell me why
[05:10.51]Daydreams filled his nighttimes, and night-dreams filled his days
[05:16.20]Confusion and uncertainty, a puzzled mind of haze
[05:21.88]You thought he was so powerful, and set upon his ways
[05:27.26]Well he left us all to follow through this maze
[05:33.14]I heard the king was dying, I heard the king was dead
[05:38.95]And with him died the chronicles that no one ever read
[05:44.89]The closet's fully empty now, it's occupied by none
[05:50.70]I'll draw the drapes, now destiny is done
