The Pride of Fools (A Dark Ballad of Temptation and Consequence)

[Intro]
Daunting
(Foreboding yet taunting)

[Verse 1]
Are you a chicken, no, you’re bold as steel,
The call of the forest, a forbidden ordeal.
A castle deep within, where shadows play,
The mythical Pocket Chicken takes its prey.

[Pre-Chorus]
Legends whispered, a grip of iron tight,
A kingdom of fear, shrouded in night.
The brave who wander, the lost who fall,
Answering pride’s foolish call.

[Chorus]
The pride of fools, it lures you in,
A dance of darkness where it all begins.
Sell your soul to the whispers deep,
And march with the herd, where the pigs do weep.

[Bridge]
The pride of fools
(Hard knocks’ schools)
March with the herd
(So absurd)

[Verse 2]
They beckon with chants, a klan’s cruel song,
Breaking the rights where the free belong.
The forest looms, its shadows grow,
A trail of lies where the foolish go.

[Pre-Chorus]
The castle waits, a sinister glow,
A throne of deceit, a place of woe.
The brave who enter never return,
Their pride consumed, their fates adjourned.

[Chorus]
The pride of fools, it lures you in,
A dance of darkness where it all begins.
Sell your soul to the whispers deep,
And march with the herd, where the pigs do weep.

[Bridge]
The Pocket Chicken rules with claw and beak,
(A false salvation for the proud and weak.)
They boast of freedom, but chains remain,
(Bound by lies in shadows’ domain.)

Daunting
(Foreboding and haunting)

[Chorus]
The pride of fools, it lures you in,
A dance of darkness where it all begins.
Sell your soul to the whispers deep,
And march with the herd, where the pigs do weep.

[Outro]
The forest whispers, the castle stands
(The pride of fools still claims its bands)
Will you step forth, or turn away?
(The price of pride is yours to pay)
