Ballad of a Jester

In a land by the sea,872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5ZGxvuyVk

Where anything could be

Lived a boy, almost a man

Alone, surrounded by friends

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrWeAKPBzY

He was no special thing,

Though he liked to think he could be king

At a fair one day his chance came

No one would be the same

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJPiNAymRf

Near the end of a dark and moonless night

While the ravens and jackals do dine

A child screams unto the dawning light

Taken away before the sun doth shine

Moved to a place far away from home

For a painful purpose thou shalt not know

A needle doth sew away the heart's own

The child is gone before the cock crows

A new being in the child's place

Changed on the journey beyond the soul

Escaped before the guard draws on apace

His captor in his head, an evil goal

And a Jester is born, laughing through pain

So he goes with nothing to loose or gain

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjLfmMspWg

When his Master had turned

And Jester was spurned

A sword he did swing

The Master no longer was living

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX16CMdjbU

Free and afraid, away he ran

The Jester returned to the place he began

Jester they knew not

They sent him away a damnable spot

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3IhyLeM4x

But his love was there

For her he had great care

All through the town

He followed her 'round

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVioD3DKDJK

Another she did meet

He fell upon his knees

Confront her he did

Her live the town missed

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4gUyLsXfz

Alone and afraid

The Jester did wait

Until in the ground she lay

Then he ran, ran away

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygcFmBF1Vw

On the road he lived

He tried but he starved

The royal family took him in

Claiming to give him meaning

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyQEGdu7qV

Recover in the castle

He promised no hassle

But work they gave

His life they were wont to save

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMYAf9iCWS

Dancing at balls, playing the fool

The royal family made him pay for his gruel

He laughed and he cried

All the while screaming inside

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5Vx7hV2l3

Also in the castle she did live

To her, Jester his heart did give

She promised to always be true

And follow her, he stuck like glue

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbghuP6s4cb

Time passed as it always does

The Jester began to lust for blood

Of the royals whom he did despise

And to his reign he hoped to give rise

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKbLzcKCBI

They made him dance and laugh and sing

The fool of the court his bells did ring

They mocked and joked while he stood by

She whom he loved was wont to cry

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLTZ9crHl9

One night he took her by

“Afraid of the monsters am I”

“Let them out,” she said with a sigh

The cage was opened and many did die

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm28B2IfAGq

In the throne room where the blood sat

The Jester groped and found his new hat

Bells no more, the points of a crown

“No longer, my love, will you frown”

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOMv0YOBBw

He ruled and she was his queen

His child-hood dream he did win

He was a mad thing

And liked to play at being king

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY3ascvMxU

A tyrant was made when the child was took

So many years ago, the Master had looked

Now in Jester's head his voice did grin

And said, “Let the fun begin”872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJlnRUTAcr
872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdUxUMSIM5

The people obeyed his every whim

But moaned and grumbled within

They were afraid and begged for his demise

They looked into his heart of lies

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uvJwu8d3i

While they looked and did live

Death did want his queen to give

Jester screamed and cried

Another part of his soul had died

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6lrezfhqR

The mad king fell to despair

His mind far beyond repair

Still his iron fist was hated

The king's death, the people would be sated

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrpYcH4SnZ

Of his crimes they were sure

They were to get rid of the burr

His monster had started a fire

The people cried out for trial

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfhTlbRs06

While they did deliberate

In a dungeon Jester did wait

Alone and afraid

The mad king's fate was made

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1PELgB2gX

The one he thought of

Was his true love

His beautiful queen

So wonderful had she been

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBCSh7iMXI

The trial was called

The people appalled

They demanded his death

And to be witness to his last breath

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupG2CJ4Wb9

He stood calm and tall

Wishing just to end it all

Jester's mind had fallen apart

His soul gone as well as his heart

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3h55AcwWM

Taken when young

Jester's life was begun

He was changed

His Master deranged

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKxgPmiTIM

Around his neck, quite tight

The noose they tied

His closed his eyes

And faced the skies

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlTPZM1wLK

“Death,” the cried

He wished he had died

Along with his queen

Better, life would have been

872Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXXDFwhOCP

The noose did slip

He had freedom in his grip

Once a boy, almost a man

He grabbed the chance and he ran
