Lyrics and translation
Original
The fool jumps on in, he goes in blind.
They say he's a madman, that he's lost his mind.
The fool wonders when they'll open their eyes, and see he's a genius in a foolish disguise.
He tiptoes along the edge of the world, singing and dancing and taunting the earth. He draws in his foes, they question his worth.
Caught up by the trickster, they don't see the sword.
Risk taker, oath breaker, who would trust a fool?
Reckless and senseless, they'll never see the truth.
The fool jumps on in, he goes in blind.
They say he's a madman, that he's lost his mind.
The fool wonders when they'll open their eyes, and see he's a genius in a foolish disguise.
He gets in close, you drop down your guard.
Laughing and smiling, he's never too far. Because what's a fool to a powerful god?
They'll never see him coming 'til he's right in their path.
Troublemaker, shift shaper, what defines a fool?
Underestimated, he's such a perfect tool.
The fool jumps on in, he goes in blind.
They say he's a madman, that he's lost his mind.
The fool wonders when they'll open their eyes, and see he's a genius in a foolish disguise.
Toss a coin, genius and madness, one of the same.
What a choice, the flint or the steel, who is to blame?
A masquerade to a brand new day with a different face.
Praise the fool, is what they chant, whisper his name.
The fool jumps on in, he goes in blind.
They say he's a madman, that he's lost his mind.
The fool wonders when they'll open their eyes, and see he's a genius in a foolish disguise.
