Lady Sovereign

The Pinnacle

Lady Sovereign


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 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.
