《Closet Chronicles》歌词

[00:00:01] Kansas - Closet Chronicles

[00:00:06] Once carried through the current

[00:00:09] And being swept away

[00:00:12] The king is in his closet

[00:00:15] He's hiding from today

[00:00:19] And though he owns all fortunes

[00:00:22] This room is where he'll stay

[00:00:24] And his world is filled with darkness turning grey

[00:00:31] Gazing out the window of the forty-second floor

[00:00:36] He is separate from all others

[00:00:39] No one knocks upon his door

[00:00:42] And it might as well be raining '

[00:00:45] Cause the sunlight hurts his eyes

[00:00:48] And his ears will never hear the children's cries

[00:00:54] Once proud and full of passion

[00:00:56] He fought the cause of man

[00:01:00] Many people loved his courage

[00:01:01] Many followed his command

[00:01:05] He changed the old into the new

[00:01:08] And the course of things to come

[00:01:11] And then one day they noticed he was gone

[00:01:17] At first it didn't matter nobody seemed to care

[00:01:22] They all became too busy to find him anywhere

[00:01:28] But no one knew not even him

[00:01:31] The problems he would find

[00:01:34] On the day he journeyed deep into his mind

[00:01:40] I close my eyes I go far away

[00:01:44] Away from this battlefield

[00:01:46] In my dreams well

[00:01:50] Here I will enjoy it

[00:01:52] Where innocence plays with all

[00:01:54] The laughing children

[00:01:58] The kind who are crying right now

[00:02:04] A taste of freedom from the pain

[00:02:07] Of everything here I see

[00:02:10] Life is sweet but I took it all for granted

[00:02:16] And now I don't know if I could even tell you

[00:02:22] Just what we permit we allow

[00:02:28] Allow me to forget the life I've made my own

[00:02:33] I've held this nation in my hand

[00:02:36] And yet it's not my home

[00:02:39] Oh allow me just one answer and one reason why

[00:02:45] Why this refugee of the family of man must die

[00:02:50] Tell me why

[00:05:10] Daydreams filled his nighttimes

[00:05:12] And night-dreams filled his days

[00:05:15] Confusion and uncertainty a puzzled mind of haze

[00:05:21] You thought he was so powerful and set upon his ways

[00:05:26] Well he left us all to follow through this maze

[00:05:32] I heard the king was dying I heard the king was dead

[00:05:38] And with him died the chronicles that no one ever read

[00:05:44] The closet's fully empty now it's occupied by none

[00:05:50] I'll draw the drapes now destiny is done
