[00:06.34] | Once carried through the current, and being swept away |
[00:11.71] | |
[00:12.70] | The king is in his closet, he's hiding from today |
[00:17.76] | |
[00:18.76] | And though he owns all fortunes, this room is where he'll stay |
[00:24.06] | |
[00:24.75] | And his world is filled with darkness, turning grey |
[00:28.93] | |
[00:31.17] | Gazing out the window of the forty-second floor |
[00:35.86] | |
[00:36.67] | He is separate from all others, no one knocks upon his door |
[00:42.03] | |
[00:42.54] | And it might as well be raining, 'cause the sunlight hurts his eyes |
[00:48.34] | And his ears will never hear the children's cries |
[00:52.53] | |
[00:54.02] | Once proud and full of passion, he fought the cause of man |
[00:59.13] | |
[00:59.70] | Many people loved his courage, many followed his command |
[01:05.60] | He changed the old into the new, and the course of things to come |
[01:10.27] | |
[01:11.21] | And then one day they noticed he was gone |
[01:15.83] | |
[01:16.77] | At first it didn't matter, nobody seemed to care |
[01:21.76] | |
[01:22.44] | They all became too busy to find him anywhere |
[01:27.56] | |
[01:28.45] | But no one knew not even him, the problems he would find |
[01:33.24] | |
[01:33.99] | On the day he journeyed deep into his mind |
[01:38.17] | |
[01:40.47] | I close my eyes, I go far away |
[01:43.28] | Away from this battlefield |
[01:45.16] | |
[01:46.22] | In my dreams, well |
[01:49.35] | Here I will enjoy it |
[01:51.27] | |
[01:51.96] | Where innocence plays with all |
[01:54.34] | The laughing children |
[01:56.05] | |
[01:58.11] | The kind who are crying right now |
[02:00.48] | |
[02:03.97] | A taste of freedom from the pain |
[02:06.34] | |
[02:06.97] | Of everything here I see |
[02:09.15] | |
[02:10.15] | Life is sweet but I took it all for granted |
[02:15.27] | |
[02:15.96] | And now I don't know if I could even tell you |
[02:20.52] | |
[02:22.09] | Just what we permit, we allow |
[02:25.14] | |
[02:28.14] | Allow me to forget the life I've made my own |
[02:32.63] | |
[02:33.37] | I've held this nation in my hand, and yet it's not my home |
[02:38.31] | |
[02:39.18] | Oh, allow me just one answer, and one reason why |
[02:43.61] | |
[02:44.86] | Why this refugee of the family of man must die |
[02:50.54] | Tell me why |
[02:51.60] | |
[05:09.78] | Daydreams filled his nighttimes, and night-dreams filled his days |
[05:14.76] | |
[05:15.57] | Confusion and uncertainty, a puzzled mind of haze |
[05:21.26] | You thought he was so powerful, and set upon his ways |
[05:26.18] | |
[05:26.81] | Well he left us all to follow through this maze |
[05:30.67] | |
[05:32.60] | I heard the king was dying, I heard the king was dead |
[05:37.42] | |
[05:38.35] | And with him died the chronicles that no one ever read |
[05:43.35] | |
[05:44.21] | The closet's fully empty now, it's occupied by none |
[05:49.40] | |
[05:50.27] | I'll draw the drapes, now destiny is done |
