The Warnings Of Fools

A verse/chorus song for my songwriting class

 

We walk through this world and people we meet

At times it appears as though they mean well

They guide our hands being very discreet

We won’t believe ‘til we see it ourselves

 

Mother’s warning to exercise patience

Fathers defend us with their divine shield

We live our lives now in blind ignorance

Someday here soon will the truth be revealed

 

The warnings of fools prophets and liars

All run together like mercury drops

Should we believe or face trial by fire

Can never be sure until the time stops

 

Here at the start of this beautiful life

Our idols are those whom we wish to be

But they know not of our eternal strife

For they know little of true loyalty

 

The warnings of fools prophets and liars

All run together like mercury drops

Should we believe or face trial by fire

Can never be sure until the time stops

 

And so we turn to our closest of friends

We trust them completely second to none

We’ll fight through fear and through death ‘til the end

Whatever lies waiting we’ll face as one

 

The warnings of fools prophets and liars

All run together like mercury drops

Should we believe or face trial by fire

Can never be sure until the time stops
