The Pinnacle - Kansas (堪萨斯)
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 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 borne 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
