Kansas - The Pinnacle lyrics

Album: Masque (1975)

I have so much to say, & yet I can not speak
Come & do my bidding now for I´ve 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, & conquered demon foes
With glory & 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´ll embrace
In all that I endure, of one thing I´m sure
Knowledge & 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 isn´t 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 is 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´s amusing though we´re losing
Drowned in tears of awe.
