The Fools Game

[Verse 1]
The cards they dealt behind closed doors
Rules smeared on bloodstained floors
Telling us to “play or be erased”
Laughing behind the masks of the disgraced 

[Pre-Chorus]
We’re the pawns in their charade
Dancing blind in a failed parade

[Chorus]
It’s the fool’s game, played with loaded dice
Truth sold off at a discount price
They preach control, we scream disdain
No more moves in the fool’s game

[Verse 2]
Crowning their lies with holy light
Fed us fear, hoping we’d take flight 
Throne built on broken backs
Then calling it order, after the fact

[Bridge]
But I see the strings, I see the stage
The actors drunk on power and rage
I tear the script, I burn the frame
No more lines in the fool’s game

[Final Chorus]
It’s the fool’s game, played with loaded dice
Truth sold off at a discount price
They preach control, we scream disdain
No more moves in the fool’s game
It’s the fool’s game, but I won’t play
I’d rather torch it all today
