The Fool

The fool jumps on in, he goes in blind
They say he's a madman, that he's lost his mind
The fool wonders when they'll open their eyes
And see he's a genius in a foolish disguise

He tiptoes along the edge of the world
Singing and dancing and taunting the earth
He draws in his foes, they question his worth
Caught up by the trickster, they don't see the sword

Risk taker, Oath Breaker
Who would trust a fool?
Reckless and senseless
They'll never see the truth

The fool jumps on in, he goes in blind
They say he's a madman, that he's lost his mind
The fool wonders when they'll open their eyes
And see he's a genius in a foolish disguise

He gets in close, you drop down your guard
Laughing and smiling, he's never too far
Because what's a fool to a powerful God?
They'll never see him coming till he's right in their path

Troublemaker, shift shaper
What defines a fool?
Underestimated
Is such a perfect tool

The fool jumps on in, he goes in blind
They say he's a madman, that he's lost his mind
The fool wonders when they'll open their eyes
And see he's a genius in a foolish disguise

Toss a coin
Genius and madness, one of the same
What a choice
The Flint or the Steel, who is to blame?
A mask or two
A brand new day with a different face
Praise the fool
Is what they chant, whisper his name

The fool jumps on in, he goes in blind
They say he's a madman, that he's lost his mind
The fool wonders when, they'll open their eyes
And see he's a genius in a foolish disguise
