The King of Fools |
| She was so good |
| She was so kind |
| She made my life |
| A royal story |
| I was her king |
| She was my queen |
| We lived our life |
| In all its glory |
| Then just like Ulysses |
| I heard the witches cry |
| I lost my direction |
| But still I don’t know why |
| I lost your love |
| My crown and jewels |
| When they call my name |
| They call me king |
| The king of fools |
| I played my song |
| And I made her cry |
| Though I was old |
| She made me younger |
| I buried decades of my life |
| To feel her youth |
| And feed my hunger |
| Now castles and mansion |
| Lie ruined in the sand |
| People laugh and mock me |
| Who once obeyed commands |
| I lost your love |
| My crown and jewels |
| When they call my name |
| They call me king |
| The king of fools |
| Only fools know what it’s like |
| To lose and never win |
| Only fools have broken hearts |
| Over and over again |
| So here I am |
| Alone and weak |
| With all my powers |
| Vastly diminished |
| I think of you |
| Oh, by the hour |
| I know my royal life is finished |
| I know that I’m pathetic |
| 'Cause I will always be your clown |
| You have found another |
| And he now wears my crown |
| I lost your love |
| My crown and jewels |
| When they call my name |
| They call me king |
| The king of fools |
| When they call my name |
| They call me king |
| The king of fools |
