Some more lyrics that I wanted to share.KANSAS lyrics - "Sparks Of The Tempest" (Kerry Livgren / Steve Walsh)The sparks of the tempest rage a hundred years onThe voice of the dreamer screams, the cause of the pawnThe King and the Queen are gone, each piece is the sameThe difference between us is a part of the gameDarkness is spreading like a spot on the sunThe dead are the living in the age of ...
