lyrics

Who of Fools
By Mark Bishop Evans
Words 1985 & 2019, Music 2019


How much the price in peace of mind accomplishments to come
What the prize at end of time when ambitions fire done
Where the pride in finish fine with blood upon your hands
Why no peace or comfort thine as all alone you stand

What makes you travel on so far before you realize
How worthless are your promises intended more a lies
Where did you acquire the wounds that haunt you like a ghost
Why can you still not recall the ones that hurt the most

(Chorus)
Who of fools will find Wrongs come back in time
That’s the way. We always pay the price

When you stand up there alone surveying all your greed
You will be unsatisfied as still you feel the need
How can you expect those things to fill and satisfy
When you know the greatest prize will always be denied

(Chorus)

Which the pose behind you hide that cuffs you with this name
Was the plan so selfish blind in counting others pain
Who of fools more greater shine by winning never scored
When the pain more tighter bind than masking as reward

(Chorus)
