lyrics
The Witch and the Fool,
Intro
From a land scarred by war, sins and through greed
Came four men, who would not accept the cards fate had dealt,
They saw how others had broken their chains now they are free.
Chorus
I will offer you riches, beyond your desires.
I will take you to a place, where as gods we shall live.
You must leave your brothers and kindred behind.
Take me as your consort, and we shall share the spoils.
Verse 1/1
Brotherhood is cast aside, by ambition and desire.
Once more the prince set sail for a kingdom he would build.
Indolence and arrogance the vessel that dared to sail
Cast on the rocks was the ship of the fool.
All washed up and left for dead, through pity he did find.
These three angels, pledged their faith and restore his faith
Once more a kingdom would be built upon this bond he found.
He cast his eyes upon his past, his vision was revenge.
Chorus
I will offer you riches, beyond your desires.
I will take you to a place, where as gods we shall live.
You must leave your brothers and kindred behind.
Take me as your consort, and we shall share, share the spoils.
Verse 2
The prince, he did take the hand, of the witch for his bride.
The angels, his confidants were tricked and cast aside
Surrounded now by mercenaries who would ride the carousel,
The witches smile, the crack of the whip, the circus of deceit.
Chorus
I will offer you riches, beyond your desires.
I will take you to a place, where as gods we shall live.
You must leave your brothers and kindred behind.
Take me as your consort, and we shall share, share the spoils.

Fool
The Fool
Yours the Fool
You are the Fool
Living a s a king with your bride, worshipped and adored.
You are a prisoner in a gilded cage.
Is this Heaven or is this Hell?
Some princess have designs to be king,
But prices must be paid
Are you a king or are you a fool,
The power lies behind the throne.
