The Dance Of Fools

Sometimes I've got a world on my shouldersthat cast long shadows cross my eyeswhere traced out footsteps on the shoresof the sea of sorrowreflect the changes in my lifeHolding out in a darkened roomlong before the fall of rain shall comelisten to mefor the last time that I was tempted to the dance of foolscloser to meI crawled away a loserI never knew it meant so much to hold a place of powerwhere only dreaming sets you freeI never thought that you could hold me so completelyyou tore off my mask and I could seeAll the people in the streetdouble crossed by their own livesbring them to meI want to take them to a new tomorrow of yesteryearcall them to melet us live forever onTonight I shall cast a stone into the sea of sorrowIts waves they crash beneath my feetsorrow binds you to a life not worth livingunto that mortal life you clingStripped of all your earthly pride with the fools you dancetonightcome unto mesend with great speed this message all across the landlisten to melet us live forever onListen to metonight I turn my facefrom the dance of foolscloser to meI live to carry on my way
