[00:06.34]Once carried through the current, and being swept away
[00:11.71]
[00:12.70]The king is in his closet, he's hiding from today
[00:17.76]
[00:18.76]And though he owns all fortunes, this room is where he'll stay
[00:24.06]
[00:24.75]And his world is filled with darkness, turning grey
[00:28.93]
[00:31.17]Gazing out the window of the forty-second floor
[00:35.86]
[00:36.67]He is separate from all others, no one knocks upon his door
[00:42.03]
[00:42.54]And it might as well be raining, 'cause the sunlight hurts his eyes
[00:48.34]And his ears will never hear the children's cries
[00:52.53]
[00:54.02]Once proud and full of passion, he fought the cause of man
[00:59.13]
[00:59.70]Many people loved his courage, many followed his command
[01:05.60]He changed the old into the new, and the course of things to come
[01:10.27]
[01:11.21]And then one day they noticed he was gone
[01:15.83]
[01:16.77]At first it didn't matter, nobody seemed to care
[01:21.76]
[01:22.44]They all became too busy to find him anywhere
[01:27.56]
[01:28.45]But no one knew not even him, the problems he would find
[01:33.24]
[01:33.99]On the day he journeyed deep into his mind
[01:38.17]
[01:40.47]I close my eyes, I go far away
[01:43.28]Away from this battlefield
[01:45.16]
[01:46.22]In my dreams, well
[01:49.35]Here I will enjoy it
[01:51.27]
[01:51.96]Where innocence plays with all
[01:54.34]The laughing children
[01:56.05]
[01:58.11]The kind who are crying right now
[02:00.48]
[02:03.97]A taste of freedom from the pain
[02:06.34]
[02:06.97]Of everything here I see
[02:09.15]
[02:10.15]Life is sweet but I took it all for granted
[02:15.27]
[02:15.96]And now I don't know if I could even tell you
[02:20.52]
[02:22.09]Just what we permit, we allow
[02:25.14]
[02:28.14]Allow me to forget the life I've made my own
[02:32.63]
[02:33.37]I've held this nation in my hand, and yet it's not my home
[02:38.31]
[02:39.18]Oh, allow me just one answer, and one reason why
[02:43.61]
[02:44.86]Why this refugee of the family of man must die
[02:50.54]Tell me why
[02:51.60]
[05:09.78]Daydreams filled his nighttimes, and night-dreams filled his days
[05:14.76]
[05:15.57]Confusion and uncertainty, a puzzled mind of haze
[05:21.26]You thought he was so powerful, and set upon his ways
[05:26.18]
[05:26.81]Well he left us all to follow through this maze
[05:30.67]
[05:32.60]I heard the king was dying, I heard the king was dead
[05:37.42]
[05:38.35]And with him died the chronicles that no one ever read
[05:43.35]
[05:44.21]The closet's fully empty now, it's occupied by none
[05:49.40]
[05:50.27]I'll draw the drapes, now destiny is done
