What Fools These Mortals Be Their days as cold as snow, their lives an empty show They think that they are free, what fools these mortals be. Believing they can live, without the need to give So blind they cannot see, what fools these mortals be. They hide inside their shells, as if in prison cells In penitentiaries; what fools these mortals be. Chorus For love is salvation, you cannot walk alone For love is salvation; your heart is not a stone For love is salvation; wise men always say For love is salvation; don't let it slip away. They live above the fray; more lonely every day Their pride their enemy, what fools these mortals be. Pr! etending not to care, that no-one's ever there Lost in purgatory, what fools these mortals be. (Instrumental) Chorus They say that love is pain; it saves us all the same A thousand clowns agree, what fools these mortals be What fools these mortals be, what fools these mortals - be. c. Roy Smiles 2012.
