Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression, Part 1/Live
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Cold and misty morning
I heard a warning borne in the air
About an age of power
Where no one had an hour to spare
Where the seeds have withered
Silent children shivered in the cold
Now their faces captured
In the lenses of the jackals for gold
I'll be there
I'll be there
I will be there
Suffering in silence
They've all been betrayed
They hurt them and they beat them
In a terrible way
Praying for survival
At the end of the day
There is no compassion
For those who stay yeah
I'll be there
I'll be there
I will be there
There must be someone who can set them free
To take their sorrow from this odyssey
To help the helpless and the refugee
To protect what's left of humanity
Can't you see
Can't you see
Can't you see yeah
I'll be there
I'll be there
I will be there
To heal their sorrow
To beg and borrow
Fight tomorrow
Step inside
Hello
We've the most amazing show
You'll enjoy it all we know
Go inside
Go inside
We got thrills and shocks
Supersonic fighting cocks
Leave your hammers at the box
Come inside
Come inside
Roll up
Roll up
Roll up
See the show
Left behind the bars
Rows of bishops' heads in jars
And a bomb inside a car
Spectacular
Spectacular
If you follow me there's a speciality
Some tears for you to see
Misery misery
Roll up
Roll up
Roll up
See the show
Next upon the bill in our house of vaudeville
We've a stripper in a till
What a thrill
What a thrill
And not content with that
With our hands behind our backs
We pull Jesus from a hat
Get into that
Get into that
Roll up
Roll up
Roll up
See the show
