Ballad of a Jester

In a land by the sea,983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JpMYFbP9M

Where anything could be

Lived a boy, almost a man

Alone, surrounded by friends

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVjSVVSjQ0

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

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OtaCLClUC

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

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BKnLyviol

When his Master had turned

And Jester was spurned

A sword he did swing

The Master no longer was living

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKheHcyLwxq

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

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZEKQx6k5i

But his love was there

For her he had great care

All through the town

He followed her 'round

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKdssc3LO5

Another she did meet

He fell upon his knees

Confront her he did

Her live the town missed

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qw6ItUVB7

Alone and afraid

The Jester did wait

Until in the ground she lay

Then he ran, ran away

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh173u3Of4

On the road he lived

He tried but he starved

The royal family took him in

Claiming to give him meaning

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8fGVq8jPy

Recover in the castle

He promised no hassle

But work they gave

His life they were wont to save

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qryzlNcjX

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

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtDjZkZmXw

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

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMK7OfPjgb

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

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVoHOAgmOF

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

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZchRCTLGpm

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

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7UWEwlD1A

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”

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnJxRSfp4n

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

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpCj9bU2Rh

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”983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTWlm1lK1D
983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1FaEAnetp

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

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VrShsT4zL

While they looked and did live

Death did want his queen to give

Jester screamed and cried

Another part of his soul had died

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KHFWCNuel

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

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEldY25TpE

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

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2VXXZTGdd

While they did deliberate

In a dungeon Jester did wait

Alone and afraid

The mad king's fate was made

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHAc4pKTA2

The one he thought of

Was his true love

His beautiful queen

So wonderful had she been

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCtABKdT8G

The trial was called

The people appalled

They demanded his death

And to be witness to his last breath

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HM5xTnEqb

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

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiZo5PddE4

Taken when young

Jester's life was begun

He was changed

His Master deranged

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqymYyfFe2

Around his neck, quite tight

The noose they tied

His closed his eyes

And faced the skies

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJpGzsNLxb

“Death,” the cried

He wished he had died

Along with his queen

Better, life would have been

983Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83WhKF6g3M

The noose did slip

He had freedom in his grip

Once a boy, almost a man

He grabbed the chance and he ran
