fools

i'm crying i'm dying

i can see what's wrong with me

it's in my head

i can see what's gonna be

as i lie in my bed

man is not my brotherhood

i am of the dead

i died as i lived as i loved and was born

on some distant hill

the reasons to hide were the reasons i cried

fools pass laughing still

there can be bad blood in all i can see

it's in my brain

you don't know the pain i feel

as i must live again

rocks and stones can't bruise my soul but

tears will leave a stain

they smile to themselves as they lay down my head

on some distant hill

the blind and the child sweep a tear from their eye

fools smile as they kill

i got my own way to go and now i want

to take your minds

i believe if you could see

the blood between the lines

i believe that you could be

a better kind

please lead the way so the unborn can play

on some greener hill

laugh as the flames eat their burning remains

fools die laughing still
