   I've so much to say, and yet I cannot speak
  Come and do my bidding now for I have 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, and conquered demon foes
  With glory and 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 will embrace
  In all that I endure, of one thing I am sure
  Knowledge and 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 see you say it's not 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's 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 is amusing though we are losing
  Drowned in tears of awe.
