Kansas - Closet Chronicles Lyrics

Send "Closet Chronicles" ringtone to your cell

Once carried through the current

And being swept away

The king is in the closet

He's hiding from today

And though he owns all fortune

This room is where he'll stay

And his world is filled with darkness

Turning gray

Gazing out the window

Of the 42nd floor

He is separate from all others

No one knocks upon his door

And it might as well be raining

'Cause the sunlight hurts his eyes

And his ears will never hear

The children's cries

Once proud and full of passion

He fought the cause of man

Many people loved his courage

Many followed his command

He changed the old into the new

And the course of things to come

And then one day they noticed

He was gone

At first it didn't matter

Nobody seemed to care

They all became too busy

To find him anywhere

So no one knew not even him

The problems he would find

On the day he journeyed

Deep into his mind

I close my eyes I go far away away from the battlefield

In my dreams well here I will enjoy it

Where innocence plays with all the laughing children

The kind who are crying right now

A taste of freedom from the pain of everything here I see

Life is sweet but I took it all for granted

And now I don't know if I can even tell you

Just what we permit we allow

Allow me to forget the life

I've made my own

I've held this nation in my hand

And yet it's not my home

Oh allow me just one answer

And one reason why

Why this refugee of the family

Of man must die? Tell me why

Daydreams filled his night times

And night dreams filled his days

Confusion and uncertainty

A puzzled mind of haze

You thought he was so powerful

And set upon his ways

Well he left us all to follow

Through this maze

I heard the king was dying

I heard the king was dead

And with him died the chronicles

That no one ever read

The closet's fully empty now

It's occupied by none

I'll draw the drapes now destiny

Is done
