Ballad of a Jester

In a land by the sea,975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzIXBY0GOC

Where anything could be

Lived a boy, almost a man

Alone, surrounded by friends

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAvno32Y8p

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

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyrLVOgA18

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

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXYOw0Pfao

When his Master had turned

And Jester was spurned

A sword he did swing

The Master no longer was living

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAQiSTPJjn

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

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhVjB21HwF

But his love was there

For her he had great care

All through the town

He followed her 'round

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WPWAbAPYS

Another she did meet

He fell upon his knees

Confront her he did

Her live the town missed

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkuixBwoYK

Alone and afraid

The Jester did wait

Until in the ground she lay

Then he ran, ran away

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5bA8wvpRp

On the road he lived

He tried but he starved

The royal family took him in

Claiming to give him meaning

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDyEO2xwRB

Recover in the castle

He promised no hassle

But work they gave

His life they were wont to save

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r04y9HNer

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

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcJbK34yQh

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

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUMslzkLFG

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

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeyMdwB5kc

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

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDufW7wItx

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

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhaDJlxbE9

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”

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc0py0LI1X

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

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAdWEfzkBF

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”975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCXPjxAXn5
975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuORuWigEE

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

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSLbN4B964

While they looked and did live

Death did want his queen to give

Jester screamed and cried

Another part of his soul had died

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw2rmX3Qt9

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

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mWkx4zmDE

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

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk8DO7sKtO

While they did deliberate

In a dungeon Jester did wait

Alone and afraid

The mad king's fate was made

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXfl5GvUfm

The one he thought of

Was his true love

His beautiful queen

So wonderful had she been

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6Z2qoLSfZ

The trial was called

The people appalled

They demanded his death

And to be witness to his last breath

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNBiTez6Oo

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

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98D5cN73qQ

Taken when young

Jester's life was begun

He was changed

His Master deranged

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qbG0K1PaM

Around his neck, quite tight

The noose they tied

His closed his eyes

And faced the skies

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRAbe20H52

“Death,” the cried

He wished he had died

Along with his queen

Better, life would have been

975Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDCx4iCbTb

The noose did slip

He had freedom in his grip

Once a boy, almost a man

He grabbed the chance and he ran
