[Verse 1]

Down the centuries I was at their side

With a song to glorify their genocides

Always knowing but never appearing too wise

Always had a rhyme to hide their lies

[Chorus]

Here am I – just for you

Here am I – here stands the fool

Here am I – just for you

Here am I – here stands the fool

[Verse 2]

I plot with pretenders and princes

And I shed a tear at the loser's grave

Some advice for you, if I may:

Better a knave than a slave

[Chorus]

Here am I – just for you

Here am I – here stands the fool

Here am I – just for you

Here am I – here stands the fool

[Verse 3]

To conspire and devour

That's how these empires are lost and won

I bow my head humbly to mistress and sire

And I'll still be alive with the rising of the sun

[Chorus]

Here am I – just for you

Here am I – here stands the fool

Here am I – just for you

Here am I – here stands the fool

Here am I – just for you

Here am I – here stands the fool

Here am I – just for you

Here am I – here stands the fool
