Socrates

A rose... a rose... a rose... a rose in the fountain
A rock... a rock... a rock... a rock in the mountain
Alone... alone... alone in your desolation
You met... you met... you met your extermination
Socrates, first superstar
 
Dressed in a gown, you walked through the town
Socrates, first superstar
Teacher of love and of reason, you only could understand
The words that you spoke still hurt and provoke
Socrates, first superstar
For this you were seized and imprisoned
And killed by your poisonous hand
 
A rose... a rose... a rose... a rose in the fountain
A rock... a rock... a rock... a rock in the mountain
Alone... alone... alone in your desolation
You met... you met... you met your extermination
Socrates, first superstar
 
A rose... a rose... a rose... a rose in the fountain
A rock... a rock... a rock... a rock in the mountain
Alone... alone... alone in your desolation
You met... you met... you met your extermination
Socrates, first superstar
Superstar
Superstar
 
In front of your grave, so peaceful and brave
Socrates, first superstar
You talked and your students would listen to every word that you said
But people above don't care about love
Socrates, first superstar
Your teachings, they said, were indecent
So they wanted you dead
 
A rose... a rose... a rose... a rose in the fountain
A rock... a rock... a rock... a rock in the mountain
Alone... alone... alone in your desolation
You met... you met... you met your extermination
Socrates, first superstar
 
A rose... a rose... a rose... a rose in the fountain
A rock... a rock... a rock... a rock in the mountain
Alone... alone... alone in your desolation
You met... you met... you met your extermination
Socrates, first superstar
Superstar
Superstar
