Shadow Gallery - The Dance Of Fools lyrics

Sometimes I've got a world on my shoulders

that cast long shadows cross my eyes

where traced out footsteps on the shores

of the sea of sorrow

reflect the changes in my life

Holding out in a darkened room

long before the fall of rain shall come

listen to me

for the last time that I was tempted to the dance of fools

closer to me

I crawled away a loser

I never knew it meant so much to hold a place of power

where only dreaming sets you free

I never thought that you could hold me so completely

you tore off my mask and I could see

All the people in the street

double crossed by their own lives

bring them to me

I want to take them to a new tomorrow of yesteryear

call them to me

let us live forever on

Tonight I shall cast a stone into the sea of sorrow

Its waves they crash beneath my feet

sorrow binds you to a life not worth living

unto that mortal life you cling

Stripped of all your earthly pride with the fools you dance

tonight

come unto me

send with great speed this message all across the land

listen to me

let us live forever on

Listen to me

tonight I turn my face

from the dance of fools

closer to me

I live to carry on my way
