Fable

You're nobody
Though you want
To play a king
No chance to cheat
Clown's betrayed
By his face

If you'd paint
Your grief in colours
Put two sparkles in your eyes
Then you'd cast a spell and turn
Black into white
Betrayal into laughter

So don't tell me
That it's meant
To be like that
That you'll stop to amuse the world
That it isn't you any more
Look they don't believe you
They're fed up with your cliches
It was you who taught them
How to laugh at kings

Time is flying
Clown is trying to play a king
Who will animate
That sad and plastic face

You should paint your grief in colours
Put two sparkles in your eyes
Then you'd cast a spell and turn
Black into white
Betrayal into laughter...
