Come in, my weary one
The table is set, the wine is sweet
Why stand outside in the cold night air
When warmth and pleasure wait within?
I am the voice you've always known
The easier path, the softer way
No heavy armor, no ancient stone
Just stolen water, sweet and plain
Your shield is heavy, your watch is long
Your sword has tasted too much blood
Lay down your vigil, forget the song
Of wisdom's cold and lonely call
The simple ones all come to me
They laugh, they feast, they feel no shame
Why carry burdens you cannot see
When pleasure asks for no one's name?
Lady Folly calls
Lady Folly calls
Her door is open, her bed is warm
Lady Folly reigns
Lady Folly reigns
And wisdom bleeds in silent scorn
Your city burns inside your helm
But here the lights are soft and low
Come taste the bread from stolen shelves
Forget the truth you used to know
The voice is sweet, the light is kind
My hand upon the door
Yes, come inside
No
Lady Folly calls
Lady Folly calls
The knight steps in, the armor falls
Lady Folly reigns
Lady Folly reigns
And wisdom dies behind closed walls
