King of Fools
Now you have seen where I have been
you know what I have seen
surely by now you understand
forever is lost in the snow
I've looked the tiger in the eye
where truth and lie
have no significance
the only difference is what one would believe
We raised piranhas in the park
while we sung our own songs
older than Christ and the fall of man
each offered his own blood sacrifice
Living beneath the moon
in our castles made of sand
while I jumped the gun
right before the shot
Death was just another private affair
I was the one laughing in the back at the funeral
dressed in white among the black
priest eyes watch with gruesome care
But what do the dead care
if we dance upon the grave
or cry in the land of nowhere
I made a promise on an old sharks tooth
more than I'd ever swear to the Bible
that Book of Lies, your honor honor your honor
what does god have to do with it?
He sits upon a throne made from your tears
but we never had a care
we use to race crickets for good luck
kiss the spider and live forever
When the curtain falls in the dark
you know only what was left unsaid
while in the snow your immortalized
a bride in white, your crimson disguise.
