King of Hearts Do you know the pain ? Can you rise above ? Can you abstain ? Can you hide your love ? Will you walk the wire to infinity And cross the fire to the crystal sea ? Can you pay the cost, can you afford To taste the blade of the double edged sword ? Have you tamed the dragon that lies within The darkness and the hearts of men ? Caves of despair and streets of the blind Echo the reality of the mind Can you stand the punch of the spirit unseen ? Will you waste your life or live the dream ? Have you been to the canyon of the unknown ? Crossed the desert and touched the bones Of the jackal and the sphinx in the painted sand Have you dug out the marrow and held it in your hand ? Is your telescope focused on a star in the east ? Have you made war or have you made peace ? Will you deeds stand alone next to the Son ? Will the fire burn everything you've done ? Goodness is in the beholders eyes You are blind and so am I Do you think your covered by the stars and bars ? Have you come to know the King of Hearts ? -Rob McNurlin copyright Buffalo Skinner Music BMI
