"YOU'RE A FOOL"

I don't have any more compassion, no loving kindness to share
Whatever hope I had for you has vanished in the air
I don't believe in miracles or white light from the sky
No soft hand to hold you, nothing to wipe your tears dry.

You inherited the karma of a life lived upside down
And we suffer your mistakes while the wheel goes round and round
I don't believe in miracles or white light from the sky
No soft hand to hold you, nothing to wipe your tears dry.

And the night falls velvety black
(Time steals life but don't give it back)
Not in the way we were led to believe
(You're a fool to yourself, you're a fool baby)

And the night falls velvety black
(Time steals life but don't give it back)
Not in the way we were led to believe
(You're a fool to yourself, you're a fool baby)
 Maybe in another life time the war was caused by you
A hundred thousand dead, they’re all rotting in the mud for you
There were burned out buildings smoldering, there was fire in the streets
Dreams that were broken brought on by your disease

And the night falls velvety black
(Time steals life but don't give it back)
Not in the way we were led to believe
(You're a fool to yourself, you're a fool baby)  

What have you done to deserve this?
What have we done as well?
Probably tortured little children, threw animals down into the well
Set fires ablaze in the forest and watched the wildlife as it died
This explanation doesn't heal me, but it brings some meaning to my life

And the night falls velvety black
(Time steals life but don't give it back)
Not in the way we were led to believe
(You're a fool to yourself, you're a fool baby)

The morning comes with little sleep
We pick our poisons then we weep
All is well but not for long maybe
Salvation can change this song
