Just a step cried the sad man
|
Take a look down at the madman
|
Theatre kings on silver wings
|
Fly beyond reason
|
From the flight of the seagull
|
Come the spread claws of the eagle
|
Only fear breaks the silence
|
As we all kneel pray for guidance
|
|
Tread the road cross the abyss
|
Take a look down at the madness
|
On the streets of the city
|
Only spectres still have pity
|
Patient queues for the gallows
|
Sing the praises of the hallowed
|
Our machines feed the furnace
|
If they take us they will burn us
|
|
Will you still know who you are
|
When you come to who you are
|
|
When the flames have their season
|
Will you hold to your reason
|
Loaded down with your talents
|
Can you still keep your balance
|
Can you live on a knife-edge
|
