Belexes

Kansas · Complete Albums Collection [2011]

Oh, I cannot tell you to make up your mind

And gather together the best of your kind

The prophets have spoken the words of ill fate

Your childhood has ended you've taken the bait

You've got the power it's there deep inside

Just look around and you'll know what you've tried

So much relies on the course that you take

The fool and the wise man both burn at the stake-ah



Look at the heads buried deep in the sand

Hiding from evil made by their own hand

The prophets have spoken the words of ill fate

Your childhood has ended you've taken the bait

You've got the power it's there deep inside

Just look around and you'll know what you've tried

So much relies on the course that you take

The fool and the wise man both burn at the stake-ah
