Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][A][Em][A]
[Em][A][Em]
[A]

[Verse 1]
At the feast of [A]fools
[Em]Humor can some[D]times be cruel[Em]
[A]But under certain conditions
[Em]You have to forget t[D]he rules
[Em]

[Verse 2]
[A]
At the feast of fools
[Em]Ever[D]ybody has a vo[Em]ice
[A]Nobody goes to the bottom[Bb][A]
[Em]Except by thei[D]r own choice
[Em]

[Verse 3]
[Bm]
It's time [Cm]for the silent cri[Bm]ers
to be held in [Em]love[F][B]
[Bm]It's time for the ones who dig graves
For them to get that final
[Em]shove[A][Em][Bm]
It's time for the hori[Cm]zons of the [Bm]universe
To be glimpsed even by the face[Em]less
kings of [F]corporations[Em][Cm]
It's time [B]for chaos [Cm]to w[Bm]in
And walk off with the prize which turns [Em]out

[Interlude 1]
to be nothing
[Em][F][Em][F][Em]
[A][Em][A]
At the feast [Bb]of fools

[Verse 4]
[A][Bb][A]
[Em]Outlaws can all [D]come[Em] home
[A]You can wear any disguise you want
[Em]But you'll be na k[D]ed past the bone
[Em]

[Verse 5]
[A]
At the feast of fools
[Em]People's hands wea[D]ve light[Em]
[A]There is [Bb]a diamond wind[A]
[Em]Flowering in the d[D]arkest night
[Em]

[Verse 6]
[Bm]
It's time [Cm]for the silent criers
[Bm]to be held in lo[Em]ve[A][Bm]
[Cm]It's time for the ones who dig graves
[Bm]For them to get that final shove[Em][F][A][Cm]
It's time for the horizons of
the [Bm]universe
To be glimpsed even by the face
[Em]less kings of corp[B]orations
[Bm]It's time [Cm]for chaos to win
[Bm]And walk off with the prize which turns out [Em]to be (a big fat) [A]nothing[Em]

[Interlude 2]
[F]
[Em][A]
[Em][D][Em][A]
[Em][D][Em][A][Em]
[D][Em][A]
[Em][D][Em][Bm]

[Verse 7]
It's time for the singers of [Bm]songs
without hope
To take a hard look and [Em]start from
scratch [F]again[Em][Bm]
It's time for these headlights
Racing against inescapable dark
to be just for[Em]gotten[B]
[Bm]It's[Cm] time for Harlequin
to leap out of the future
Into the midst [Em]of a world [F]of
dancer[Em]s[Bm]
It's time [Cm]for us all to stand [Cm]hushed
[Bm]In the cathedral of silence wa[Em]iting

[Outro 1]
at the river's end
[Em][Em][Em]
[Em]
