Unmask the Fool

Unmask the fool
Who openly dishonors
What love really is
And who suffers from it

Who openly says that
Who suffers from no love
From it he shall die
What love could he have
Openly dishonors everyone
Unmask-ing the truth
The fool only loves pain
Love really is more powerful
Than all of this
