Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Instrumental Break 00:36-01:07] [Verse 2] 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 [Instrumental Break 01:30-02:00] [Organ Solo] [Bridge] Will you still know who you are When you come to who you are? [Instrumental Break 02:13-04:03] [Organ Solo] [Verse 3] 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? [Instrumental Outro]
