My Brilliant Feat

Did someone call my name
Like a distant drum is beating
Or is it just another dream of long ago?

I dance again, I am spinning
In the light I am living
And I can feel the power rushing through my veins

Once upon a time I could do no wrong
For the candle flickers
The flame is never gone

To my brilliant feat
They all pay heed
I hear the crowds roar oh, so loudly

Is it a game of chance or merely circumstances?

A jack to a king and back
Then you have to pay to play

The world, it won't wait for you
It's got its own things to do
The sun's gotta rise and drive another night away

And as I listen to the silence
I can hear thunder in the distance

To my brilliant feat
They all pay heed
I hear the crowds roar oh, so loudly

To my brilliant feat
I make grown men weep
And still my eyes grow oh, so cloudy
