Now the jesters wear the crown

[Intro - instrumental] [Verse 1] I remember stories, crowns of gold and fire, Names carved into stone, rising higher, higher. Power had a weight, truth was something earned, Now it feels like everything has turned. [Pre-Chorus] We were told the wise would lead the way, But wisdom doesn’t seem to pay— [Chorus] Now the jesters wear the crown, Laughing while they burn it down, Voices loud but hollow sound, Spinning truth around. And the thinkers fade to gray, Pushed aside, they drift away, Tell me when did we betray Everything we say? [Verse 2] Used to fear the fool, dancing for the king, Now he writes the rules, pulls the fragile strings. Noise replaces thought, spectacle and lies, Truth is buried somewhere out of sight. [Pre-Chorus] We were told the truth would rise above, But silence is what wins enough— [Chorus] Now the jesters wear the crown, Laughing while they burn it down, Voices loud but hollow sound, Spinning truth around. And the thinkers fade to gray, Pushed aside, they drift away, Tell me when did we betray Everything we say? [Instrumental] [Bridge] If the loudest voice decides what’s real, Does it matter how we feel? If the clever learn to stay unseen, What the hell does power mean? We traded depth for something bright, Sold our minds for flashing lights [Final Chorus] Now the jesters wear the crown, Screaming while they burn it down, Every lie’s a sacred sound, No one hears it now. And the honest fall away, Drowned beneath the game we play, Tell me is it here to stay, Or can we change? [Outro]
