Fool's Overture
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
History recalls how great the fall can be
While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea
Born on the wings of time
It seemed the answers were so easy to find
Too late, the prophets cry
The island's sinking, let's take to the sky
Called the man a fool, striped him of his pride
Oh, everyone was laughing up until the day he died
And though the wound went deep
Still he's calling us out of our sleep
My friends, we're not alone
He waits in silence to lead us all home
So you tell me that you find it hard to grow
Well I know, I know, I know
And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow
Well I know, I know, I know
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Can you see the parts that I'm playing?
Holy man, rocker man, come on, Queenie
Joker Man, Spider Man, blue eyed Meanie
So you found your solution
What will be your last contribution?
Live it up, rip it up, why so lazy?
Give it out, dish it out, let's go crazy
Yeah!
