1	Once carried through the current						Once carried through the current, and being swept away	1
2	And being swept away						The king is in his closet, he's hiding from today	2
3	The king                                       is in the closet						And though he owns all fortunes, this room is where he'll stay	3
4	He's hiding from today						And his world is filled with darkness, turning grey	4
5							Gazing out the window of the forty-second floor	5
6	And though he owns all fortune						He is separate from all others, no one knocks upon his door	6
7	This room is where he'll stay						And it might as well be raining, 'cause	7
8	And                  his world is filled with darkness						the sunlight hurts his eyes	8
9	Turning gray						And his ears will never hear the children's cries	9
10							Once proud and full of passion, he fought the cause of man	10
11	Gazing out the window						Many people loved his courage, many followed his command	11
12	Of          the 42nd floor						He changed the old into the new, and the course of things to come	12
13	He is separate from all others						And then one day they noticed he was gone.	13
14	No one knocks upon his door						At first it didn't matter, nobody seemed to care	14
15							They all became too busy to find him anywhere	15
16	And it might as well be raining						But no one knew not even him, the problems he would find	16
17	'Cause the sunlight hurts                        his eyes						On the day he journeyed deep into his mind	17
18	And his ears will never hear						I close my eyes, I go far away	18
19	The children's cries						Away from this battlefield	19
20							In my dreams, well	20
21	Once proud and full of passion						Here I will enjoy it	21
22	He fought the cause of man						Where innocence plays with all	22
23	Many people loved his courage						The laughing children,	23
24	Many followed his command						The kind who are crying right now.	24
25							A taste of freedom from the pain	25
26	He changed the old into the new						Of everything here I see	26
1	And the course of things to come							1
2	And then one day they noticed							2
3	He was gone							3

5	At first it didn't matter							5

10	So no one knew not even him							10
11	The problems he would find							11
12	On the day he journeyed							12
13	Deep into his mind							13
14								14
15	I close my eyes I go far away, away from the battlefield							15
16	In my dreams well, here I will enjoy it							16
17	Where innocence plays with all the laughing children							17
18	The kind who are crying right now							18
19								19
20	A taste of freedom from the pain of everything here I see							20
	Life is sweet but I took it all for granted						Life is sweet but I took it all for granted
27	And now I don't know if I can even tell you						And now I don't know if I could even tell you	27
	Just what we permit, we allow						Just what we permit, we allow
28							Allow me to forget the life I've made my own,	28
29	Allow me to forget the life						I've held this nation in my hand, and yet it's not my home	29
30	I've made my own						Oh, allow me just one answer, and one reason why	30
31	I've held this nation in my hand						Why       this refugee of the family of man must die	31
32	And yet it's not my home						Tell me why	32
33							Daydreams filled his nighttimes, and night-dreams filled his days	33
34	Oh, allow me just one answer						Confusion and uncertainty, a puzzled mind of haze	34
35	And one reason why						You thought he was so powerful, and set upon his ways	35
36	Why                                         this refugee of the family						Well he left us all to follow through this maze	36
37	Of man must die? Tell me why						[written lyrics are "travel though this maze"]	37
38							I heard the king was dying, I heard the king was dead,	38
39	Daydreams filled his night times						And with him died the chronicles that no one ever read.	39
40	And night dreams filled his days						The closet's fully empty now, it's occupied by none,	40
41	Confusion and uncertainty						I'll draw the drapes, now destiny is done.	41
21	A puzzled mind of haze							21
22								22
23	You thought he was so powerful							23
24	And set upon his ways							24
25	Well he left us all to follow							25
26	Through this maze							26
27								27
28	I heard the king was dying							28
29	I heard the king was dead							29
30	And with him died the chronicles							30
31	That no one ever read							31
32								32
33	The closet's fully empty now							33
34	It's occupied by none							34
35	I'll draw the drapes now destiny							35
36	Is done							36
