I think I've been the finest fool Hanging down by my fingertips The crown gives way beneath my feet A black cloud descends, I lose my grip Buried in the mud Lying here with no relief The world I've known is paper thin Torn in shreds, my finest hour A drowning man, still battling One breath, rattled gathering Dust is dust, clean me now All my strings are gutted, turn it down All my strings are gutted, turn it down Turn it down Turn it down In the paralytic nursery of bygone fears My old adversary reappears Still confronted by the many faces I leave No matter how I try to heal this injury Still the trophies line up on the wall Pride that comes before a fall Pride that comes before a fall Pride Pride
