King of Fools - poets of the fall


I worry that I can't give you what you need
That you'll find nothing underneath the peel
That I can't undo the times we disagreed
That I can't ignore the way I feel
Cos what I feel is the only truth I know
And I get by on this naivete of youth
If what I feel is the only truth
And what I give out will make up what I'll receive
Can I leave behind my naivete of youth?
Will I be crucified for wanting to believe?
I believe
Could you hold us up if I would drag us down?
Resurrect emotions from our past
N' if they had a king for fools would you wear the crown?
Build us up again and make us last
Cos what I feel is the only truth for me
And I get by on this naivete of youth
If what I feel is the only truth
And what I give out will make up what I'll receive
Can I still leave behind my naivete of youth?
Will I be crucified for wanting to believe?
I believe
And if we don't worry about a thing
Will we be sorry when the rain is falling again
And what does it matter
If fortune should favor
It's never the final amen
If what I feel is the only truth
And what I give out will make up what I'll receive
Can I still leave behind my naivete of youth?
Will I be crucified for wanting to believe?
I believe

Carnival of Rust
Seems to matter what I do, so I'm saving this 4 U Cos it seems to be the last piece there is And you haven't had a chance yet to taste this Fragments of a life you shouldn't miss Seems to matter what I say, so I'll hold my tongue at bay And rather use my mouth to kiss your frown away So your doubts no longer darken your day So you can hold your head up high come what may So please remember tha...
To breathe the name Of your saviour In your hour of need And taste the blame, If the flavour should remind you of greed Of implication, insinuation and you will Till you cannot lie still In all this turmoil Before red cave and foil Come closing in for a kill Come feed the rain 'Cos I'm thirsty for your love, Dancing underneath the skies of lust Yeah feed the rain 'Cos without your love My life...
When darkness is no less than everything you've built become undone There's no fight and no flight, disaster leaves your passion overrun It's time to let go, it's time to carry on with the show don't mourn what is gone, greet the dawn n' I will be standing by your side together we'll face the turning tide Remembrance, can be a sentence, but it comes to you with a second chance in tow Don't los...
I hear a sigh, longing for loving in this life The how and the why, that keeps us running through the night Touching divine, for me it has only your face I'm looking to find pieces of wisdom I've misplaced I don't make the rules dear You don't hear the symphony I hear We don't get a dollar bill for every shining tear Fictitious and so real Love's a onetime deal With a delicious dark appeal And...
Fatal velocity, comes on with a rush, overpowering, gives the final push What never moves, is never still, who has the final word It holds the world in a single pill, and all life rendered absurd Kill sweet desire, faith may numb the trial, but can you run all your life Kill sweet desire, truth will make a liar, you can run but not hide So run for your life A false sincerity, a liar and a thie...
It's a bit like a trip, but you hit it with a slip of a tongue, like a whip, and we're sinking, it ain't cool to be cool, though you may think it a laudable tool of self evaluation, of ego cultivation, n' I'm rolling my eyes like the stones for the lies, is it really all about the size or just a simple vice... Oh, and it makes the news Oh, cos it sings the blues I feel the fire flare alight in...
Here at the station, standing in the rain, lost in my train of thought Looking around for a better time again, but yesterday ain't running on this track Unpredictable fortune, my past, lights up my future, at last, ending my torture Like gravity like love, You get up after you fall Like gravity like love I'm not afraid anymore Like gravity like love, You get up after you fall, I ain't afraid n...
I worry that I can't give you what you need That you'll find nothing underneath the peel That I can't undo the times we disagreed That I can't ignore the way I feel Cos what I feel is the only truth I know And I get by on this naivete of youth If what I feel is the only truth And what I give out will make up what I'll receive Can I leave behind my naivete of youth? Will I be crucified for want...
They're locking up the sun, the light of reason gone, n' hope has been succesfully undone The question's burning on, where is it coming from, no-one seems to know the monster born It's a bad trip on a sinking ship, when no-one seems responsible Scapegoat to rock the boat, yeah, we need someone expendable Volunteers to face the fears, can we be sensible And find a way to break the fall, find ou...
I'd stay the hand of god, but the war is on your lips How can I brace myself for razor blades on whips When everything with meaning is shattered, broken, screaming And I'm lost inside this darkness and I fear I won't survive I could pray and trick with a double tongue, but the only fool here's me I choose the way to go, but the road won't set me free Cos I wish you'd see me, baby, save me, I'm...
I've walked the distance, I paid my dues and tried to have a go at what I thought I knew was real, held no appeal I've been to places, I've seen the tidings, I bought a book of rules for every coin that I could steal And so I came to gaze upon the stars, when they were yet unborn And consequently, tear at my old scars, and the mask I had outworn So when I'm crying alone Yeah, when I'm cold as ...
The devil may smile with an angels face A cat may be stolen of its grace They say it's just a matter of time and place A man may be less than an animal The antichrist write up the honor roll The tightrope walker take the final fall at his house, in the bathroom, on a holiday, and that's in the news Oh, the things you see Makes ignorance bliss for you and me, yeah, When arrogance does publicity...
