King of Fools

Up in the north beyond the icy wall

Lived a king and queen in wealth and prosperity

The fertile lands so full of life in bloom

No one could ever see beyond that peace and harmony

Then a darkness crept up from behind

And the jealous king soon would find

That when a doubting mind is set

There's no way to forget

Burn on the pyre

And begone evil desire

Smoke rising higher

As the flames will cleanse her soul tonight

The king would soon learn about her wicked ways

For years it had been known all inside the castle walls

Shackled in chains the queen was locked away

Waiting for the trial that would surely seal her fate

Then a darkness crept up from behind

And the jealous king soon would find

That when a doubting mind is set

There's no way to forget

Burn on the pyre

And begone evil desire

Smoke rising higher

As the flames will cleanse her soul tonight

When the day had come for the king to say farewell

He looked deep in her eyes

As the flames touched the sky

He turned his back and slowly walked away

But in the back of his mind he's so afraid

Of what he'll find

Then a darkness crept up from behind

And the jealous king soon would find

That when a doubting mind is set

There's no way to forget

Burn on the pyre

And begone evil desire

Smoke rising higher

As the flames will cleanse her soul tonight
