"King Of Fools" is just talking about nowadays entertainment industry. We're talking about creating a popstar artificially, you probably have those shows in Finland too (Idols, Popstars, Fame Academy, etc). And it's not just talking about that, it's talking about us as a heavy metal band being different. And when you're a heavy metal band people are always looking strange towards you and they're looking at you like you're from another planet. So it's just a statement that ok, maybe we are rock people, maybe we are different, maybe you think we're strange, but we don't care, we're proud of being different. Fuck you. That's basically the message and it's speaking probably for many people these days, who aren't into all those fashion things on tv that are going on right now. " - Tobias Sammet
