Shadow Of A Fool

Shadow Of A Fool

D.i.
(album: What Good Is Grief To A God?)

I don´t understand what led to this.
The arrow´s been fired, but the target missed.
One hand on the trigger, the other on his grave.
You better run and hide in a deep dark cave.
No more time to be pushed around.
Nothing in the world´s gonna bring me down.
We don´t look back, we look ahead.
No matter what blood, blood´s been shed.
Think not!...
Abount anyone but yourself.
go take a long walk and don´t come back.
Looks like the cat is out of the bag, man.
The future´s clear, it´s time to attack.
Shadow of a fool...
You´re hanging from a tree.
Gotta win that never ending battle,
until you´re dead will I be free.
I see the people are fooled everyday.
Lie after lie, just to lead the way.
What insanity could lead to this?
It´s suicidal on a slash to the wrist.
On the outside you´ve got a friendly face.
On the inside it´s a cut throat race.
Cries and screaming in the night,
Fight the neverending fight,
´Cuz no one cares about anyone but themselves.
So take a long walk and don´t come back.
Looks to me like the cat´s outta the bag.
The future is clear, it´s time to attack.
People after you, you know it´s true.
Manipulating things just to get to you.
You better hurry up, you might lose the race.
There´s millions more in line,
ready to take your place.
It´s a backstabbing world that´s facing you,
They´ll take the shirt right off your back.
And they won´t leave, won´t leave a clue.
I said a story´s been told, it´s kinda sad.
About a brotehr who went bad.
Maybe your lesson will be learned,
but it´s too late, some day you´ll burn.
