Железный Ветер - Власть в колпаке
текст песни

I stage a play on the stage of lies
Where all the figures are mere dummies
My foolish dance is their fate
And every laughter is a secret struggle
I serve them a sweet goblet of poison
Under their most careless gaze
My joke is a death sentence
When merry laughter and argument thunder

Power... but only in a cap

I rule from under a cap with bells
My scepter is a pipe of rags and lies
I move thrones with my words
Drawing mirages for the crown

In my dance is the death of entire countries
In my song is someone's death hour
I weave the most skillful deception
Repeating the joke over and over
They play the roles I played
Not seeing the hidden blade in the jokes
I foresaw their end in advance
Looking at the world from behind a cap

Ruler... under the mask of a jester

I rule from behind a cap with bells
My scepter is a pipe made of rags and lies
I move thrones with my words
Drawing mirages for the crown

I am the shadow of the throne, but not the throne itself
I am the echo of power, but not its voice
I brought myself to this role
It is both my triumph and my hour of sorrow

A smile is my invincible fortress
Bells are my golden chains
I am allowed everything
Everything, except dignity

I rule from behind a cap with bells
My scepter is a pipe made of rags and lies
I move thrones with my words
Drawing mirages for the crown

It is better to rule in cap
Why not rule at all?
