KANSAS lyrics : "The Pinnacle"

(Kerry Livgren)
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 see 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.
