Sage and Jester Lyrics

The sage is sitting by the king, the jester on the floor
The king wants advise - how to rule the realm

The sage queotes: "You need your horse and armor and your sword
Defend your honour, we need to attack before they do"

The jester protests: "You need a queen, marry the enemies daughter
Ally with the foe, you don't have to wage a war"

The sane and the foul, one clown one cool, are they only a tool, who will win he duel
The sane and the fool, one kind one cruel, which is the jewel, who will help the king to rule

The king demands assist, he needs help to reign his kingdom: he must decide, who shall he entrust?

One choice, use force, attack at once or use the power of diplomacy, marry into peace

It is wicked to conspire, combat is what you desire
Fight fire with fire - all is fair in love and war!
If you look close, you will discover, do not judge a book by its cover
One good turn deserves another - all is fair in love and war!

The sane and the fool, lighting or using the fuel, one clown one cool, are they only a tool
The sane and the fool, one clown one cool, are they a tool, who will win the duel
The sane and the fool, one kind one cruel, which is the jewel, who will help the king to rule

Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice, I must be cruel only to be kind
Thus bad begins and worse remains behind, sitting on their high horses, here's metal more attractive
Something is rotten, wormwood or mouse-trap?
An ugly duckling, although of higher grace of greater race
Over my dead body, give them a silky rope
I can see darkness at the end of the tunnel
The pleas fall on deaf ears, to be or not to be
The rest is silence
