Redeem and Repent

Trapped in a travesty of jokers at the lead
Soundtrack to this comedy of lament for those who read
Honor flanked intellect and fell into the well
Like a child's reasoning would open the gates of hell

The scepter is stolen by a jester in the king's court
Beware of his temper, beware of his pride
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 these pleasant lands
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 pride
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
