Closet Chronicles - Kansas[00:00:01]
Once carried through the current[00:00:06]
And been swept away[00:00:10]
The king is in the closet[00:00:13]
He's hiding from today[00:00:16]
And though he owns all fortunes[00:00:19]
This is where he'll stay[00:00:22]
And his world is filled with darkness[00:00:25]
Turning grey[00:00:27]
Gazing out the window[00:00:31]
Of the 42nd floor[00:00:34]
He is separate from all others[00:00:37]
No one knocks upon his door[00:00:39]
And it might as well be raining[00:00:42]
Cuz the sunlight hurts his eyes[00:00:45]
And his ears will never hear the children's cries[00:00:48]
Once proud and full of passion[00:00:54]
He fought the cause of man[00:00:57]
Many people loved his courage[00:01:00]
Many followed his command[00:01:02]
He changed the old into the new[00:01:05]
And the course of things to come[00:01:08]
And then one day they noticed[00:01:10]
He was gone[00:01:13]
At first it didn't matter[00:01:17]
Nobody seemed to care[00:01:19]
They all became too busy[00:01:22]
To find him anywhere[00:01:25]
So no one knew not even him[00:01:28]
The problems he would find[00:01:31]
On the day he journeyed deep into his mind[00:01:34]
I close my eyes I go far away[00:01:40]
Away from the battlefield[00:01:43]
In my dreams well here I will enjoy it[00:01:46]
Where innocence plays with all the laughing children[00:01:52]
The kind who are crying right now[00:01:58]
A taste of freedom from the pain[00:02:04]
Of everything here i see[00:02:07]
Life is sweet but I took it all for granted[00:02:10]
And now i don't know if i can ever tell you[00:02:16]
Just what we permit we allow[00:02:22]
Allow me to forget the life[00:02:28]
I've made my own[00:02:31]
I've held this nation in my hand and yet it's not my home[00:02:33]
Oh [00:02:39]
Allow me just one answer and one reason why[00:02:40]
Why this refugee of the family of man must die[00:02:44]
Tell me why[00:02:50]
Daydreams filled his nighttimes[00:05:10]
And night dreams filled his days[00:05:13]
Confusion and uncertainty[00:05:16]
A puzzled mind of haze[00:05:18]
You thought he was so powerful[00:05:21]
And set upon his ways[00:05:24]
Well he left us all to travel through his maze[00:05:27]
I heard the king was dying[00:05:33]
I heard the king was dead[00:05:35]
And with him died the chronicles[00:05:38]
That no one ever read[00:05:41]
The closet's fully empty now[00:05:44]
Its occupied by none[00:05:47]
I'll draw the drapes now destiny is done[00:05:50]
