This one's for you, ELP veterans out there
This one's from the first album we did
It's called "Knife Edge"
ย
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
ย
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
ย
Will you still know who you are
When you get to who you are?
ย
When the flames have their season
Will you hold to your reason?
Loaded down with your talents
Can you still keep your balance?
Tell me, can you live on a knife-edge?
ย
Thank you very much
"Knife Edge"
