Knife-Edge |
«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 |
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 |
Will you still know who you are |
When you come to who you are? |
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? |
