Speak no evil, and let it infect your mind The braveheart's crown has got a hole Look at all the songs, and chivalry you've built around your life Now envision the calamity to have it redefined Come what may, if you see no sign of truth Hanging on shadow, shadow And with a grip around the throne What is left to do if candor's lost after all? So come and sway with me (oh) 'Fore our heads are gone tomorrow ♪ Jaded as you are (There is a sickening reckoning beckoning) They're venom free, these words I speak This changes everything There's something in your heart (Or what's left of it - this is not a guilt trip) It's taking over, can't you see? (The last time in your life, why aren't you listening?) Hanging on shadow, shadow And with a grip around the throne What is left to do if candor's lost after all? So come and sway with me (oh) 'Fore our heads are gone tomorrow ♪ Hanging on trial And with its grip around my throat What is left for me if jester's not wanted anymore Well I said my piece I hope it leaves you headless
