Shadow Gallery - The Dance Of Fools lyrics

[Music: C.Ingles, W.B.Allman Lyrics, Vocal Melodies: C.Cadden-James] Sometimes I've got a world on my shoulders that cast long shadows cross my eyes where traced out footsteps on the shores of the sea of sorrow reflect the changes in my life Holding out in a darkened room long before the fall of rain shall come listen to me for the last time that I was tempted to the dance of fools closer to me I crawled away a loser I never knew it meant so much to hold a place of power where only dreaming sets you free I never thought that you could hold me so completely you tore off my mask and I could see All the people in the street double crossed by their own lives bring them to me I want to take them to a new tomorrow of yesteryear call them to me let us live forever on Tonight I shall cast a stone into the sea of sorrow Its waves they crash beneath my feet sorrow binds you to a life not worth living unto that mortal life you cling Stripped of all your earthly pride with the fools you dance tonight come unto me send with great speed this message all across the land listen to me let us live forever on Listen to me tonight I turn my face from the dance of fools closer to me I live to carry on my way
