[06:28.00]Once carried through the current and being swept away
[06:28.00]The king is in his closet, he's hiding from today
[06:28.00]And though he owns all fortune, this room is where he'll stay
[06:28.00]And his world is filled with darkness, turning grey
[06:28.00]Gazing out the window of the 42nd floor
[06:28.00]He is separate from all others, no one knocks upon his door
[06:28.00]And it might as well be raining, 'cause the sunlight hurts his eyes
[06:28.00]And his ears will never hear the children's cries
[06:28.00]Once proud and full of passion, he fought the cause of man
[06:28.00]Many people loved his courage, many followed his command
[06:28.00]He changed the old into the new and the course of things to come
[06:28.00]And then one day they noticed he was gone
[06:28.00]At first, it didn't matter, nobody seemed to care
[06:28.00]They all became too busy to find him anywhere
[06:28.00]So no one knew, not even him, the problems he would find
[06:28.00]On the day he journeyed deep into his mind
[06:28.00]I close my eyes, I go far away, away from the battlefield
[06:28.00]In my dreams, well, here I will enjoy it
[06:28.00]Where innocence plays with all the laughing children
[06:28.00]The kind who are crying right now
[06:28.00]A taste of freedom from the pain of everything here I see
[06:28.00]Life is sweet, but I took it all for granted
[06:28.00]And now I don't know if I could ever tell you
[06:28.00]Just what we permit, we allow
[06:28.00]Allow me to forget the life, I've made my own
[06:28.00]I've held this nation in my hand and still it's not my home
[06:28.00]Allow me just one answer and one reason why
[06:28.00]Why this refugee of the family of man must die?
[06:28.00]Tell me, why?
[06:28.00]Daydreams filled his nighttimes, and night dreams filled his days
[06:28.00]Confusion and uncertainty, a puzzled mind of haze
[06:28.00]You thought he was so powerful and set upon his ways
[06:28.00]Well, he left us all to follow through this maze
[06:28.00]I heard the king was dying, I heard the king was dead
[06:28.00]And with him died the chronicles that no one ever read
[06:28.00]The closet's fully empty now, it's occupied by none
[06:28.00]I'll draw the drapes, now destiny is done
