King of Fools - Chamber - L'Orchestre De Chambre Noir

Were we’re from, we don’t know

We simply don’t care where we go

Each harbour resembles the other

So we don’t even bother

Above deck some thoughts aglow

Down here, we just row and row

We follow the master, the king of fools

He’ll lead us to glory and shiny jewels

Doomed to fade, one after another

Yeah, we don’t even bother

This ship and the sea, is all we know

So we fornicate, fight and drink till we go…

So you better prepare, where ever you are

We’ll chase you from town in feathers and tar

We’ll steel your jewels, dishonour your name

If you seek revenge, the king’s to blame

Cause above deck the thoughts aglow

Down here, we just row and row

This ship and the sea, is all we know

So we fornicate, fight and drink till we go…

Give us an oar, and we’ll row to your beat

For a drink, a lady, a song we deceive!

We take on each battle, won’t go down

King of fools, we follow your crown!

You may hide your goods, and pay all your dues

But your soul’s already seduced to abuse

In a harbour’s flop house, we come over you

Waking up with a «lady» with nasty tattoo

So welcome aboard, you’ve sold your soul

From now on this harbour’s your only goal

While above deck some thoughts aglow

Down here you’ll row and row

This ship and the sea, is all you’ll know

So fornicate, fight and drink till we go…

Give us an oar…

So you better prepare, wherever you are

We’re already so close, yeah we’re never far

You may row with us or drown at land

Our king will gently take your hand

So his thoughts on deck may all glow

We’re just here to row and row

This ship and the sea, is all you’ll know

Fornicating, fighting 'n drinking we go…

Give us an oar…
