The Fool

All woe the hour, black as sin Erode my pride, all in jest Cold hands break the fragile bond Your face masked in pale deceit Be damned to a foolish fate Your reckless heart cast shade I paid for that debt with ignorance And still I wait for the flood May it wash away this wretch I have been betrayed again By flame and stone, a vow I swear No more love, no more hate No trust to break, no heart to mend Now the bear the mark of bitter grace Your reckless heart cast shade I paid for that debt with ignorance And still I wait for the flood May it wash away this wretch When did you think that I was blind? I knew all along I ignored the lies For far too long You made me your fool And the cost was love You gave it away (away, away) You gave it away (away, away) Ties of blood, love betrayed Ones step echoes in the void Blood dries, and rots with time Soiled wings of angels demise The mask they wore has fallen down I can see your real face! If whispers are carried by the id Then I'm always the last to know Farewell is etched upon my heart Your reckless heart cast shade I paid for that debt with ignorance And still I wait for the flood May it wash away this wretch When did you think I was blind? I knew all along I ignored the lies For far too long You made me your fool And the cost was love You gave it away (away, away) You gave it away (away, away, away, away, away)
