The Devil's Fool

THE DEVIL’S FOOL

A window breaks
The only sound
The glass falls

FALLING

Silent to the ground
The trees stir
The wind trying still
To move those beneath it
Bring them a chill
But its efforts are useless
Because everyone is already cold

BROKEN

Ice
Just like the glass
No one is here, a town once filled
Now abandoned, everyone killed

KILL

You kill, you’re with him
The man who whispers poison

TOXIC

It’s so toxic, we melt with him
We melt
He makes us, his grin wicked
Malevolence

HATE
He hates
You hate
So we all burn
We all hang

HUNG

Up to dry
Always forgotten
Left to cry

BETRAYED

You betrayed us
You broke us
All for him

HIM

Who is he?
What does he want
What does he give you
To make you do this
To us

US

You used to be one of us
You still are
Still a human
And yet you think your
Different

BETTER

You’re better
You’re good
We are tainted

POISONED

We fall
Diseased
We drop

Victims
We stood
Once
But now
There’s nothing

EVERYTHING

Went wrong
Because you listened
To him
Why did you listen
Why did you have to hurt us?

We were victims
VICTIMS
We were innocent
INNOCENT
We were here
Once
But now we’re gone
Because of you

YOU!

Why?
Why did you listen?
What was there for you to fall so low
And destroy us

US
We stood as one
We fall as one
But you
You are alone

ISOLATED

With only him
Are you happy?
Is this what you wanted?

I am happy
Because I see you for what you really are
I will no longer be deceived
Be tricked
Or broken
I will no longer stand by you
Because I know who you are
I will no longer be pushed
Because I am done

DONE

And you shall not break me anymore
Not for him
Not for you
I break for me
And he will get you
Because he is the devil
And only a fool
Will truck with the devil

You stand alone
He has you choking
On your leash
He has you crying
In your hands
You shake
You beg
For us
To help

HELP?

Help you?
You destroyed us
You killed us
And yet you still break
You are scared

But we don’t care
You twisted us around your finger
You whispered in our ears
And made us trust
TRUST?
You know nothing of trust
LOVE?
You know nothing of love

HATE?

You hate
He hates
You belong with him.
And I will not help you
I stand with them

We stand as one
We fall as one

You are alone
And you blame us

US!

We did nothing
But trust you
We did nothing
But help
And you betrayed us

You LIED
And I don’t care anymore

You’re a fool
And the devil can keep you.
