The first song in a concept record

lyrics

The Fool's Lament 1996 Dan Robinson/Cindy Murphy

Join each other's mock, you cannot help but laugh.
Empty crowns adorned thine kings and queens forlorned

Come easy, go crazy, I've got you in my hand
Stop crying, start flying, we'll skate apon the sand

A servant for the world to see.
But you are not the one it's me
I dance the dance, the fool the jesters dance.

How does it feel to be, the one whom all do mock?
forever scorned by shame, I cannot bare the pain.
The pity of mankind rests firmly apon my back
I have no life left to give, or will to find my way

Helplessness rules my name, hopelessness rules my life

How can it be, this life that you live will never be with me?
Hide from their eyes my fool I will shelter you behind my eyes.
Dont you know, or see what I have done to you is better me
Foolish boy, alone in the rain you'll cry in misery

Dragged by the pain like a puppet you dance to the strings sad melody
Weep in the rain, see the fool drown in sorrow, you will never win my game.....

Showers of rain falling down.
Can you hear the pain?
Can you see, how they laugh?
...Better you than me.

Croutched on a coble stone wall, a fool for all to see.
The tears dance down my brow to the tune my sorrows play.
I cannot feel the rain, Ive seen my life decay
Inside I yearn to be, free from you and the pain.

Helplessness rules my name, hoplessness rules my life.

Shroud Of Bereavement Sandown, New Hampshire

Shroud of Bereavement's music is akin to attending a funeral for everyone you have ever loved. The Boston-based group achieves this moribund feeling by incorporating all the right musical elements: cellos, piano, violin, and dual female vocal harmonies layered on top of harsh death vocals, played at the pace of mile-long funeral procession.. ... more
