The Pinnacle Lyrics

(Livgren)

------------

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.
