Notre Dame (King of Fools)

Oh, you thought that you might rule They have played you for a fool (A fool) You could never be like them Solitude your one true friend You fool Can you hear their laughter ring As they crown you king? A king of fool King of fools, king of fools A broken crown, oh king Oh, you could never rule Hahahaha, you fool (You fool) Can you hear their laughter ring As they crown you king of fools? You fool I call for sanctuary in the spires of Notre Dame Their kindness was a dagger, I'll never belong This world will reject me, this tower is my home To my one true friend, the gargoyle, I ask Why am I not made of stone? Made of stone I still hear their laughter ring From down there in the festival of fools So long the church has stood A silent witness Through the ages All the holy tomes The histories Flammable pages The gargoyle's long watch is no more Now the fires will burn The ancient stone Of the cathedral Now the bells shall ring Nevermore Atop the steeple Now the flames engulf The memories Of long lost glories And who will preserve What was lost? The unknown stories And the world will go on, but forever changed
