I've so much to say
And yet I cannot speak
Come and do my bidding now
For I have grown too weak

My weary eyes have seen
All that life can give
Come to me, o young one
For you I can't forgive

I stood where no man goes
And conquered demon foes

With glory and passion no longer in fashion
The hero breaks his blade
Cast this shadow long
That I may hide my face
And in this cloak of darkness
The world I will embrace

In all that I endure, of one thing I am sure
Knowledge and reason change like the season
A jester's promenade

Lying at my feet I see the offering you bring
The mark of Cain is on our faces, born of suffering
O, I long to hear you say it's not been wrong
I stand before you now, a riddle in my song

The answer is that sweet refrain
Unheard it always will remain
Beyond our reach, beyond our gain

Trapped in life's parade
A king without a crown
In this joy of madness
My smile might seem a frown

With talons wrought of steel
I tore the heart of doom
And in one gleaming moment
I saw beyond the tomb

I stood where no man goes
Above the din I rose
Life is amusing though we are losing
Drowned in tears of awe

Oo a o a o a o a o
Oo a o a o a o a o
Oo a o a o a o a o
