Ballad of a Jester

In a land by the sea,981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfbvgj3Req

Where anything could be

Lived a boy, almost a man

Alone, surrounded by friends

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB4W8JP1z4

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

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFESxL7fRd

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

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5Not8wjL0

When his Master had turned

And Jester was spurned

A sword he did swing

The Master no longer was living

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NEd1gskKi

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

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFctFibGI8H

But his love was there

For her he had great care

All through the town

He followed her 'round

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjccHqOX63y

Another she did meet

He fell upon his knees

Confront her he did

Her live the town missed

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfaP0cjhzZ

Alone and afraid

The Jester did wait

Until in the ground she lay

Then he ran, ran away

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpT201Ayug

On the road he lived

He tried but he starved

The royal family took him in

Claiming to give him meaning

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQQLjIImK7

Recover in the castle

He promised no hassle

But work they gave

His life they were wont to save

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdgN8DMO3c

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

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauYJtOIAJV

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

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk3CaDxVyk

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

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIBRId3vp7

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

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYh8Xt04Js

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

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kgCrm5pHD

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”

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZnFD1ULEA

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

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA2QvYhZhw

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”981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bSgsdK0fx
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHoeBiLx1n

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

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX119l5Kgr

While they looked and did live

Death did want his queen to give

Jester screamed and cried

Another part of his soul had died

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6cg3qPVWE

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

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULikvOQMS7

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

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dv9t3KWKR

While they did deliberate

In a dungeon Jester did wait

Alone and afraid

The mad king's fate was made

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKkDdhELxa

The one he thought of

Was his true love

His beautiful queen

So wonderful had she been

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tz1ZFDZ2p

The trial was called

The people appalled

They demanded his death

And to be witness to his last breath

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfku0jqyYh

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

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQunFvnPG5

Taken when young

Jester's life was begun

He was changed

His Master deranged

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSMjsFvvmp

Around his neck, quite tight

The noose they tied

His closed his eyes

And faced the skies

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzbPtve4qI

“Death,” the cried

He wished he had died

Along with his queen

Better, life would have been

981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N3zzasvOF

The noose did slip

He had freedom in his grip

Once a boy, almost a man

He grabbed the chance and he ran
