The Folly of Man
Cliff West

He rides to war on demon wings
To glory for his land and king
That soldier who's so brave and true
But doesn't have a clue

In sorrow he will reap the crop
The seed he's sown and then he'll drop
Down from that lofty pinnacle
His mighty brain had wrought

The folly of man The folly of man The folly of man

The folly of man His troubles and his woes
The folly of man And he feels that he knows
The folly of man Hypocrisy and lies
The reason that he crys
Tomorrow he will rise again
To fight the battle to the end
He feels the wheel is rolling
But its never gonna turn

Your time is up no time to think
If you don't paddle you will sink
And on the far horizon
Is the grave to which he runs

The folly of man The folly of man The folly of man
The folly of man His troubles and his woes
The folly of man And he feels that he knows
The folly of man Hypocrisy and lies
The reason that he crys
That will to power never fails
The log that falls across the rails
And stops the train from going
Where the mind would surely learn

He'll take tomorrow as it comes
The arrows and the falling bombs
To see the truth is something
That he's never gonna learn

The folly of man the folly of man The folly of man
The folly of man His troubles and his woes
The folly of man And he feels that he knows
The folly of man Hypocrisy and lies
The reason that he crys
