What Fools These Mortals Be

Their days as Cruel as snow, their lives an empty show
They think that they are free, what fools these mortals be.

Believing they can live, without the need to give
So blind they cannot see, what fools these mortals be.

They hide inside their shells, as if in prison cells
In penitentiaries; what fools these mortals be.

Chorus
Dream on, when everything is wrong; make love your constant song
Dream on, when everything is wrong; make love your constant song.

They live above the fray; more lonely every day
Their pride their enemy, what fools these mortals be.

Chorus

Pretending not to care, that no-one's ever there
Lost in purgatory, what fools these mortals be.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

Chorus

They say that love is pain; it saves us all the same
A thousand clowns agree, what fools these mortals be

What fools these mortals be, what fools these mortals - be.
