Dance of Fools

Welcome to the Masquerade of Life!
It’s filled with dementia, and it’s filled with strife!
Oh no, sweet girl, you aren’t at all wrong,
For your mask is fair and your gown is long!

Come in my dear! Come on! Come stay!
You’re in for a treat! Enjoy the buffet!

The whispered sounds,
Of broken crowns,
Torment the ears of the deaf.

Tattering gowns,
And menacing frowns,
Harass the eyes of those who are,
Left
Be-hind.

Welcome to the Masquerade of Life!
It can all be easily ended by the knife!
Oh no, sweet girl, please don’t run,
You cannot leave ‘till the party is done!

Come in my dear! Come on! Come stay!
You will never see the light of day.

The angry cries,
Of those who lie,
Torment the ears of the deaf.

Faces of dismay,
To never see day,
Harass the eyes of those who are,
Left
Be-Hind.

Welcome to the Masquerade of Life!
It’s filled with dementia, and it’s filled with strife!
Oh no, sweet girl, you aren’t at all wrong,
For your mask is fair and your gown is long!

Come in my dear! Come on! Come stay!
You will never see the light of day.

At the ball,
Your mask will fall,
And no one
Will hear
You
Scream.
