The Fool’s Anthem (Psalm 52 & Wisdom 2) (Remix) by dragonkinght6912947

V1
(Half-deadpan)
So you’re the mighty man, the big shot with the plan,
Trusting in your riches while you’re sinking in the sand.
Your tongue is like a razor, yeah, it’s sharp and looking keen,
(Sarcastic aside: Real original, man.)
You love the evil more than good, if you know what I mean.
You think you’re monumental, standing tall within the gate,
But you’re just a little glitch inside the hands of fate.
C
(Explosive Grit / Gang Vocals)
Hey! Why do you boast of the mischief you do?
The goodness of God is gonna outlast you!
You’re a rooted-up tree in the land of the living,
While we’re in the court and we’re busy thanksgiving!
(Wide panned guitars)
It’s a mock-anthem for the man in the mirror,
The closer you look, the vision gets clearer!
V2
(Half-deadpan)
The Book of Wisdom says you think that life is just a fluke,
"Let’s crown ourselves with rosebuds" (Sarcastic aside: I’m gonna puke.)
You say our life is passing like the traces of a cloud,
So you might as well be greedy and you might as well be loud.
You want to oppress the poor man just because he’s in the way,
(Sarcastic aside: Classic villain move, right?)
But you forgot the part where everyone has got to pay.
C
(Explosive Grit / Gang Vocals)
Hey! Why do you boast of the mischief you do?
The goodness of God is gonna outlast you!
You’re a rooted-up tree in the land of the living,
While we’re in the court and we’re busy thanksgiving!
(Wide panned guitars)
It’s a mock-anthem for the man in the mirror,
The closer you look, the vision gets clearer!
B
(Experimental / Spoken Section)
(Filtered drums/Slapback)
"Let’s see if his words are true," that’s what the foolish say.
"Let’s test him with insult and torture," just to ruin his day.
(Spoken, tongue-in-cheek)
"I mean, if he’s really a son of God, God will help him, right?
That’s how it works in the movies. Popcorn, anyone?"
(Final full-band slam)
But they didn't know the secrets of the Almighty!
V3
But I am like a green olive tree in the house of my King,
I trust in His mercy and the truth that it brings.
I’ll thank You forever for the work that You’ve done,
In the presence of the faithful, the battle is won.
So keep your little rosebuds and your temporary crown,
I’m building on the Rock while your house is falling down.
Outro
(Sarcastic)
Nice crown, buddy.
(Funky bass solo)
Is it gold or just spray-paint?
I’ll stay in the sanctuary.
Yeah. We're done here.
