Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Karn Evil 9 First Impression lyrics

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 compa**ion for those who stay. 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. I'll be there I'll be there I will be there; To heal their sorrow To beg and borrow Fight tommorow. Step inside! hello! we've the most amazing show You'll enjoy it all we know Step inside! step inside! We've got thrills and shocks, supersonic fighting co*ks. 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! Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends We're so glad you could attend Come inside! come inside! There behind a gla** is a real blade of gra** Be careful as you pa**. Move along! move along! Come inside, the show's about to start Guaranteed to blow your head apart Rest a**ured you'll get your money's worth The greatest show in heaven, hell or earth. You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo. You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll .... Right before your eyes we pull laughter from the skies And he laughs until he cries, then he dies, then he dies Come inside, the show's about to start It's guaranteed to blow your head apart You've got to see the show, it's a dynamo You've got to see the show, it's rock and roll, oh! Soon the gypsy queen in a glaze of vaseline Will perform on guillotine What a scene! what a scene! Next upon the stand will you please extend a hand To alexander's ragtime band Roll up! roll up! roll up! See the show! Performing on a stool we've a sight to make you drool Seven virgins and a mule Keep it cool. keep it cool. We would like it to be known the exhibits that were shown Were exclusively our own, All our own. all our own. Come and see the show! come and see the show! come and see the show! See the show!
