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
