Kansas - Closet Chronicles[00:00:02]

Once carried through the current and being swept away[00:00:25]

The king is in his closet he's hiding from today[00:00:31]

And though he owns all fortunes this room is where he'll stay[00:00:37]

And his world is filled with darkness turning grey[00:00:42]

Gazing out the window of the forty-second floor[00:00:49]

He is separate from all others no one knocks upon his door[00:00:54]

And it might as well be raining 'cause the sunlight hurts his eyes[00:01:00]

And his ears will never hear the children's cries[00:01:06]

Once proud and full of passion he fought the cause of man[00:01:12]

Many people loved his courage many followed his command[00:01:17]

He changed the old into the new and the course of things to come[00:01:23]

And then one day they noticed he was gone[00:01:29]

At first it didn't matter nobody seemed to care[00:01:34]

They all became too busy to find him anywhere[00:01:40]

But no one knew not even him the problems he would find[00:01:46]

On the day he journeyed deep into his mind[00:01:52]

I close my eyes I go far away[00:01:58]

Away from this battlefield[00:02:01]

In my dreams well[00:02:04]

Here I will enjoy it[00:02:07]

Where innocence plays with all[00:02:09]

The laughing children[00:02:11]

The kind who are crying right now[00:02:16]

A taste of freedom from the pain[00:02:22]

Of everything here I see[00:02:24]

Life is sweet but I took it all for granted[00:02:27]

And now I don't know if I could even tell you[00:02:33]

Just what we permit we allow[00:02:39]

Allow me to forget the life I've made my own[00:02:45]

I've held this nation in my hand and yet it's not my home[00:02:50]

Oh allow me just one answer and one reason why[00:02:55]

Why this refugee of the family of man must die[00:03:01]

Tell me why[00:03:06]

Daydreams filled his nighttimes and night-dreams filled his days[00:05:23]

Confusion and uncertainty a puzzled mind of haze[00:05:28]

You thought he was so powerful and set upon his ways[00:05:33]

Well he left us all to follow through this maze[00:05:39]

I heard the king was dying I heard the king was dead[00:05:44]

And with him died the chronicles that no one ever read[00:05:49]

The closet's fully empty now it's occupied by none[00:05:55]

I'll draw the drapes now destiny is done[00:06:01]
