Ashes Of Ares – Emperors And Fools

Lyrics Emperors And Fools – Ashes Of Ares

Tragedy lies in wait for those
who don’t heed it’s call
History speaks again and again
Of the many faults of man

Shepherds leading flocks astray
They’re predator to prey
Pawns, they’re set upon the field
Kings know their fate is sealed

Though it’s often said
We learn from our mistakes
It’s all said for naught
If we don’t read from the same page

Most truths are self explained
By the nature of the thing
But lies contrived, are meant to divide
By emperors and kings

Kings and pawns
Emperors and fools
We follow blindly
When we can’t discern the truth
Kings and pawns
Emperors and fools
Damned to repeat the past
Now we’ll ever play the fool
They sit upon their thrones
Thinking they’re the chosen ones
They provide us all we know
Yet they keep us from the sun

They know that knowledge is power
So they keep us in the dark
Ever knowing, ever fearing
A flame just needs a spark…
