He danced along the edge of sound Where silence breaks, and steel is crowned The world stood still to watch him fly A streak of will across the sky But fate is clumsy, blind, and cruel And gods can fall by hands of fools No thunder roared, no warning cry Just gears that turned, and then, goodbye No guilt at all, no mastermind Sad destiny, we all will find He carved his name into the wind A fire too fierce to be pinned Stricken by a fool Even kings can bleed Even those who rule Can fall with lightning speed No armor, no escape No wisdom to unspool Even legends break Stricken by a fool Can I be stricken? Striken by a foll Oh, my friend Where are you now? In my mind, I hear that sound Please, tell me your soul is now unbound It wasn't fate, it wasn't war Just one mistake, and nothing more The sharpest blade, the brightest mind Undone by what was left behind But glory sleeps on hollow ground When greatness hears a hollow sound Stricken by a fool Even kings can bleed Even those who rule Can fall with lightning speed No armor, no escape No wisdom to unspool Even legends break Stricken by a fool Stricken by a fool Even kings can bleed Even those who rule Can fall with lightning speed Oh, my friend Where are you now? In my mind, I hear that sound Please, tell me your soul is now unbound Stricken by a fool No angels came to weep No justice in the rule That drags the brave to sleep They cheered, they cried, they knew Even gods aren't bulletproof He rose, and then he fell Stricken by a fool
