Within Temptation - A Fool’s Parade feat. Alex Yarmak (Official Music Video)

Filmed in Ukraine under the direction of renowned Ukrainian filmmaker Indy Hait, the music video for 'A Fool's Parade' showcases Sharon along guest vocalist Alex Yarmak.

The song serves as an anthem against the deceptive maneuvers of Russia and offers a portrayal of the harsh reality endured by Ukraine. Through our music, we continue to shed light of the cruel invasion by Russia in Ukraine. Therefore, we will donate all royalties from ‘A Fool’s Parade’ to Music Saves UA, for the duration of the war.

Within Temptation

Alex Yarmak

Lyrics:
Hands tight, the tide has turned and you know it
Burned down, cause no one's buying your story
Can't hide the gallows waiting to hold you
You're nevermore, you're nevermore

The cross of love the wrench of reliance
Or shall I weigh all the shame
I don't need your praise or your blame
It's only how it fits your game

So shut your face
stop pretending like you don't know
When all is said you're still searching ways to burn my name
I hate your face your crusade is just a fool’s parade, a fool’s parade, a fool’s parade

So shut your face your crusade is just a fool’s parade
A fool’s parade

Don't lie, don't pretend to be sorry
Sweet smiles, while dominos keep falling
No doubt, it's all for your own glory
your perfect storm, your perfect storm

The cross of love the wrench of reliance
Or shall I weigh all the shame
I don't need your praise or your blame
It's only how it fits your game

So shut your face
stop pretending like you don't know
When all is said you're still searching ways to burn my name
I hate your face your crusade is just a fool’s parade, a fool’s parade, a fool’s parade

You will not make me
Doubt myself
You even don’t know who you are
So don’t blame the ones around you

So shut your face
stop pretending like you don't know
When all is said you're still searching ways to burn my name
I hate your face your crusade is just a fool’s parade, a fool’s parade, a fool’s parade

A fool’s parade
A fool’s parade
A fool’s parade

It's hardest song I herd for last time. From all of Ukrainian people I want to say THANK YOU and yours band for it. After more than 2 year of war, every who not forget about us, who do something - is our hero, not less, than the Ukrainian warriors, which defend all of us

[Oleksandr.Taranenko]

Дякую за вашу підтримку! Зараз вона вкрай потрібна, коли світ, здається, з глузду з'їхав і стрімко котиться у прірву...
