While this is inspired by true things(ish) I've embellished the story. And in any case I'd appreciate you not reading too much into it and enjoying the song as is. I've had a hard time coming up with a name for this one, too. I originally thought "More than meets the eye" but then I hated that so... I still don't know. Maybe let me know if you have suggestions? As always, lyrics in the read more. Thanks for listening! ~ Quintus [[collapsible show="+ Read More" hide="- Show Less"]] ++++ Verse 1 Jesters and Jailers Attend to and tailor The tale of war underfoot The cogheads and serpents Towards battle aren't certain They know that it all ends in soot While seeking protection They build their collection A weapon unmatched by machine The first stone is cast But the one who laughs last Is the distant pedestrian queen ++++ Prechorus 1 There's more than meets the eye to what's begun Although she's standing last, she has not won ++++ Chorus They say that all's fair in-- That anything goes And what are they fighting for? Nobody knows So we're doomed to watch Or to fight I suppose While hand, cog, and flesh come to blows ++++ Verse 2 The jesters in court Have a secret of sorts That was stolen while under her watch They didn't begin it But once caught up in it They left to take things down a notch They have no excuse But they value its use So they keep it from all those involved Their weapon stays hidden The war stays unbidden Their guilt they've completely absolved ++++ Prechorus 2 There's more than meets the eye to what goes down The jesters are not fools; they wear the crown ++++ Chorus They say that all's fair in-- That anything goes And what are they fighting for? Nobody knows So we're doomed to watch Or to fight I suppose While hand, cog, and flesh come to blows ++++ Verse 3 The jailers, meanwhile In truth or denial Acquired a threat of their own Though quite the detectives They seem ineffective At working out truths not yet shown They don't understand But reach out to the hand And demand their compliance for aid The snakes don't comply So the jailers sit by And they never realize they've been played ++++ Prechorus 3 There's more than meets the eye to what goes on The jailers are not rooks, they are the pawn ++++ Chorus They say that all's fair in-- That anything goes And what are they fighting for? Nobody knows So we're doomed to watch Or to fight I suppose While hand, cog, and flesh come to blows ++++ Bridge The jailers out of the way The war becomes too hard The jesters fail to see They are the wild card Machine and Serpent joined Decide to finally bombard The battlefield's left empty The earth, forever scarred ++++ Verse 4 Jesters and Jailers Attend to and tailor The tale of war that has passed The latter derisive, The fools indecisive You both must take blame for the blast While you sit there writing There's wars that need fighting The heroes have ended their scene Though they paid the cost Not all hope is lost To defeat the pedestrian queen ++++ Prechorus 3 There's more than meets the eye to what lies ahead Though she's still standing tall her army is dead And one more final secret that I've found If you combined your power you'd take her down ++++ Chorus They say that all's fair in-- That anything goes And what is it all for? Well, nobody knows Are we doomed to watch And to stay writing prose? There's a time we must all come to blows No, nothing's quite fair here But anything goes There's dangerous people We all must oppose Will they join the fight? We'll see, I suppose If jailers and jesters The betters and lessers Together, 'gainst flesh come to blows [[/collapsible]] [[div class="blockquote"]] **LikeClocksWork commented:** Honestly, I think "More than meets the eye" is a fine name. You clearly haven't told us all that's going on, and that title encompasses that. Great song, dude! [[/div]] [[div class="blockquote"]] **The-Wicked-Music-Man12 commented:** I love the imagery in here! The lyrics are so dark. Have you considered "Coming To Blows" as a title? Or maybe "Jesters and Jailers"? Either way, excellent job. [[/div]] [[div class="blockquote"]] **Thr33ThirtyThr33 commented:** Good song! Kinda sad though. I hope things get resolved with whatever it is you're going through. [[div class="blockquote"]] **Quintus55 replied:** Me too.
