The Fool

[Verse 1]
Down the centuries I was at their side
With a song to glorify their genocides
Always knowing but never appearing too wise
Always had a rhyme to hide their lies

[Chorus]
Here am I – just for you
Here am I – here stands the fool
Here am I – just for you
Here am I – here stands the fool

[Verse 2]
I plot with pretenders and princes
And I shed a tear at the loser's grave
Some advice for you, if I may:
Better a knave than a slave

[Chorus]
Here am I – just for you
Here am I – here stands the fool
Here am I – just for you
Here am I – here stands the fool

[Verse 3]
To conspire and devour
That's how these empires are lost and won
I bow my head humbly to mistress and sire
And I'll still be alive with the rising of the sun

[Chorus]
Here am I – just for you
Here am I – here stands the fool
Here am I – just for you
Here am I – here stands the fool
Here am I – just for you
Here am I – here stands the fool
Here am I – just for you
Here am I – here stands the fool
