Redeem and Repent - Falconer

Trapped in a travesty of jokers at the lead

Soundtrack to this comedy, a lament to those who read

Honour flanked intellect and fell into the well

Like a child’s reasoning would open the gates to hell

The scepter is stolen by a jester in the king’s court

Beware of his temper, beware of his might

Wise men bang their heads against the wall

Heed the sinister call

Clowns have the word

Fools have the day

Meanings are blurred

As sense flies away

Let’s sing the anthem of mental eclipse

As the children play chess with the world

Hearken the choirs, redeem and repent

The winds of doom sweep across this pleasant land

With a sound of prophecy of darker times at hand

Heedful enlightened rule slips into the void

Out from the shadows steps a cranky boy

The scepter is stolen by a jester in the king’s court

Beware of his temper, beware of his might

Wise men bang their heads against the wall

Heed the sinister call

Clowns have the word

Fools have the day

Meanings are blurred

As sense flies away

Let’s sing the anthem of mental eclipse

As the children play chess with the world

Hearken the choirs, redeem and repent

Clowns have the word

Fools have the day

Meanings are blurred

As sense flies away

Let’s sing the anthem of mental eclipse

As the children play chess with the world

Hearken the choirs, redeem and repent

Let’s sing the anthem of mental eclipse

As the children play chess with the world

Hearken the choirs, redeem and repent

Redeem and repent

Redeem and repent
