Closet Chronicles-Kansas

[00:00.000] 作词 : Livgren, Walsh [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
