[00:00.00] 作词 : Livgren, Walsh [00:06.82]Once carried through the current, [00:09.77]and being swept away [00:12.96]The king is in his closet, [00:15.83]he's hiding from today [00:19.09]And though he owns all fortunes, [00:22.02]this room is where he'll stay [00:24.96]And his world is filled with darkness, turning grey [00:31.65]Gazing out the window of the forty-second floor [00:36.96]He is separate from all others, [00:39.83]no one knocks upon his door [00:42.83]And it might as well be raining, ' [00:45.96]cause the sunlight hurts his eyes [00:48.59]And his ears will never hear the children's cries [00:54.33]Once proud and full of passion, [00:56.96]he fought the cause of man [01:00.02]Many people loved his courage, [01:01.52]many followed his command [01:05.90]He changed the old into the new, [01:08.52]and the course of things to come [01:11.08]And then one day they noticed he was gone [01:17.02]At first it didn't matter, nobody seemed to care [01:22.58]They all became too busy to find him anywhere [01:28.52]But no one knew not even him, [01:31.46]the problems he would find [01:34.21]On the day he journeyed deep into his mind [01:40.71]I close my eyes, I go far away [01:44.08]Away from this battlefield [01:46.52]In my dreams, well [01:50.02]Here I will enjoy it [01:52.21]Where innocence plays with all [01:54.90]The laughing children [01:58.40]The kind who are crying right now [02:04.39]A taste of freedom from the pain [02:07.27]Of everything here I see [02:10.46]Life is sweet but I took it all for granted [02:16.27]And now I don't know if I could even tell you [02:22.33]Just what we permit, we allow [02:28.46]Allow me to forget the life I've made my own [02:33.71]I've held this nation in my hand, [02:36.70]and yet it's not my home [02:39.39]Oh, allow me just one answer, and one reason why [02:45.14]Why this refugee of the family of man must die [02:50.77]Tell me why [03:03.52] [05:10.21]Daydreams filled his nighttimes, [05:12.89]and night-dreams filled his days [05:15.79]Confusion and uncertainty, a puzzled mind of haze [05:21.41]You thought he was so powerful, and set upon his ways [05:26.85]Well he left us all to follow through this maze [05:32.78]I heard the king was dying, I heard the king was dead [05:38.59]And with him died the chronicles that no one ever read [05:44.47]The closet's fully empty now, it's occupied by none [05:50.35]I'll draw the drapes, now destiny is done
