At The Jester's Ball

(album: Black Moon Rising - 2014)

I am the prince of hypocrisy
An apostle of the lies
Do as I say not as I do
I'm only playing dice
Hear the words of the prophecy
In my gospel of swarming flies

I am dancing in the waltz
Come join in one and all
We will all compete at the jester's ball
For a seat at curtain call

In front of the cirtuous mirror
Blinded men lead the way
Onto the altar at the judgement day
Living in self-delusion
Disciples by deceit
Self-nominated in parangon elite

Play me a tune of ideology
A noble marching song
Though I am slightly out of key
I'll try to sing along
The chorus speak of our doom's day
And all the things it did wrong

I am dancing in the waltz
Come join in one and all
We will all compete at the jester's ball
For a seat at curtain call

I am dancing in the waltz
Come join in one and all
We will all compete at the jester's ball
For a seat at curtain call
