The Pinnacle Lyrics - Masque - Kansas

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 

O, I long to see 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
