Текст песни
(Intro - Медленный, меланхоличный перебор на электрогитаре, deep bass, soft drums)
(Verse 1 - Голос мягкий, deep, как у Вилле Вало)
I see the future in the dregs of tea,
A thousand ways that death could come for me.
A broken bow, a lost and lonely fight,
A dryad's smile that haunts me through the night.
My cards are marked, my crystal ball is cracked,
I'm just a fool with a prophetic act.
(Chorus - Гитарный дисторшн вступает, голос набирает мощь, но остаётся мелодичным)
I'm fortune's fool, a jester with a staff,
My heart beats for a girl who'll never love by half.
I see the darkness coming, I feel the shadow's pull,
But for her smile, I'll play the lovesick fool.
(Verse 2 - Чуть более напряжённо, добавляется синтезаторный фон)
I saw her fall, I saw her break her bow,
I saw the tears she'd never let me know.
I healed her wounds with trembling, shaking hands,
And dreamed of walking in forgotten lands.
My acorn glows, a tiny, gentle light,
The only hope against the endless night.
(Chorus - Более мощно, с бэк-вокалом)
I'm fortune's fool, a jester with a staff,
My heart beats for a girl who'll never love by half.
I see the darkness coming, I feel the shadow's pull,
But for her smile, I'll play the lovesick fool.
(Bridge - Тихо, почти шёпотом, только гитара и голос)
They call me useless, just a seer of doom,
But I'd burn my prophecies to light her room.
And if the final vision shows my death alone,
At least I'll know her heart was once my home.
(Guitar Solo - Melodic, emotional, like a crying heart, in the style of HIM)
(Final Chorus - Полная мощь, хор, но всё ещё с этой готической романтикой)
I'M FORTUNE'S FOOL! A JESTER WITH A STAFF!
My heart beats for a girl who'll never love by half!
I see the darkness coming, I feel the shadow's pull!
BUT FOR HER SMILE, I'LL PLAY THE LOVESICK FOOL!
(Outro - Медленный, затухающий гитарный перебор, последний шёпот)
...For her smile... I'm fortune's fool...
...Fortune's fool...
