Kansas - Closet Chronicles lyrics

Your rating:

And being swept away
 The king is in the closet
 He's hiding from today
 And though he owns all fortunes
 This room is where he'll stay
 And his world is filled with darkness, turning grey

 Gazing out the window
 Of the 42nd second floor
 He is separate from all others
 No one knocks upon his door
 And it might as well be raining 'cause the sunlight hurts his eyes
 And his ears will never hear the children's cries

 Once proud and full of passion
 He fought the cause of man
 Many people loved his courage
 Many followed his command
 He changed the old into the new
 And the course of things to come
 And then one day they noticed he was gone

 At first it didn't matter
 Nobody seemed to care
 They all became too busy
 To find him anywhere do no one knew hot even him

 The problems he would find
 On the day he journeyed deep into his mind

 I close my eyes I go far away
 Away from this battlefield
 In my dreams well here I will enjoy it
 Where innocence plays with all the laughing children
 The kind who are crying right now
 A taste of freedom from the pain
 Of everything here I see
 Life is sweet but I took it all for granted
 And now I don't know if I could even tell you
 Just what we permit, we allow

 Allow me to forget the life I've made my own
 I've held this nation in my hand
 And yet it's not my home
 Allow me just one answer just one reason why
 Why this refugee of the family of man must die
 Tell me why

 Daydreams filled his nighttimes
 And night dreams filled his days
 Confusion and uncertainty
 A puzzled mind of haze
 You thought he was so powerful
 And set upon his ways
 Well he left us all to travel through this maze

 I heard the king was dying
 I heard the king was dead
 And with him died the chronicles
 That no one ever read
 The closet's fully empty now
 It's occupied by none
 I'll draw the drapes now destiny is done
