Just a step Cried the sad man Take a look down At the mad man Theatre kings On silver wings fly Beyond reason From the flight Of the sea gull Come the spread claws Of the eagle Only fear Breaks the silence As we all kneel Pray for guidance Tread the rule Cross the abyss Take a look down At the madness On the streets Of the city Only specters Still have pity Pacing queues For the gallows Sing the praises Of the hallowed On 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 of the season Will you hope to your reason? Will you be down with your times? Can you still keep your violence? Can you live on a knife edge?
