No Tears for a Fool

[Verse] Wasted days on empty dreams Chasing shadows chasing schemes Built his castle on the shore But the tide wiped it away once more [Verse 2] Toiled in vain with hands of stone Cared for nothing scratched the bone Foolish man with hollow prize Lost in darkness life despised [Chorus] No tears for a fool Who's wasted it all No roses no throne Just echoes that fall [Verse 3] Vanity his closest friend Lust for nothing reached no end Paper crowns that turned to dust As he squandered trust in lust [Verse 4] Iron chains he made himself Now he's trapped on an empty shelf Years of labor turned to rust Empty vessels broken trust [Bridge] No sorrow no more For the man who lost it all No pity no call For the rise that led to fall
