Shadow Of A Fool lyrics

I don't understand what led to this.
The arrow's been fired, but the target missed.
One hand on the trigger, the other on his grave.
You better run and hide in a deep dark cave.
No more time to be pushed around.
Nothing in the world's gonna bring me down.
We don't look back, we look ahead.
No matter what blood, blood's been shed.
Think not!...
Abount anyone but yourself.
Go take a long walk and don't come back.
Looks like the cat is out of the bag, man.
The future's clear, it's time to attack.
Shadow of a fool...
You're hanging from a tree.
Gotta win that never ending battle,
Until you're dead will I be free.
I see the people are fooled everyday.
Lie after lie, just to lead the way.
What insanity could lead to this?
It's suicidal on a slash to the wrist.
On the outside you've got a friendly face.
On the inside it's a cut throat race.
Cries and screaming in the night,
Fight the neverending fight,
''cause no one cares about anyone but themselves.
So take a long walk and don't come back.
Looks to me like the cat's outta the bag.
The future is clear, it's time to attack.
People after you, you know it's true.
Manipulating things just to get to you.
You better hurry up, you might lose the race.
There's millions more in line,
Ready to take your place.
It's a backstabbing world that's facing you,
They'll take the shirt right off your back.
And they won't leave, won't leave a clue.
I said a story's been told, it's kinda sad.
About a brotehr who went bad.
Maybe your lesson will be learned,
But it's too late, some day you'll burn.
