The Pinnacle

Kerry A 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
Oh, I long to hear 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
