Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Knife Edge lyrics

rate me

Just a step cried the sad man<br /> Take a look down at the madman<br /> Theatre kings on silver wings<br /> Fly beyond reason<br /> From the flight of the seagull<br /> Come the spread claws of the eagle<br /> Only fear breaks the silence<br /> As we all kneel pray for guidance<br /> <br /> Tread the road cross the abyss<br /> Take a look down at the madness<br /> On the streets of the city<br /> Only spectres still have pity<br /> Patient queues for the gallows<br /> Sing the praises of the hallowed<br /> Our machines feed the furnace<br /> If they take us they will burn us<br /> <br /> Will you still know who you are<br /> When you come to who you are<br /> <br /> When the flames have their season<br /> Will you hold to your reason<br /> Loaded down with your talents<br /> Can you still keep your balance<br /> Can you live on a knife-edge<br /><br />
