Ballad of a Jester

In a land by the sea,903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2t2I2p4nG

Where anything could be

Lived a boy, almost a man

Alone, surrounded by friends

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH7eaQnDki

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

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeUe4vifOT

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

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSek0rdahqy

When his Master had turned

And Jester was spurned

A sword he did swing

The Master no longer was living

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n9wgyw5oz

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

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU91Fcy7pe1

But his love was there

For her he had great care

All through the town

He followed her 'round

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu48uDu6sF

Another she did meet

He fell upon his knees

Confront her he did

Her live the town missed

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthVlZqUGRr

Alone and afraid

The Jester did wait

Until in the ground she lay

Then he ran, ran away

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO5kk0XMm6

On the road he lived

He tried but he starved

The royal family took him in

Claiming to give him meaning

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL54qgJ8xy8

Recover in the castle

He promised no hassle

But work they gave

His life they were wont to save

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcDM509QIE

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

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVdgDrlHCz

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

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEls9cNmBY

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

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA9NpeQ7yF

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

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPtyC6xR1R

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

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhkGiLWZWp

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”

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk7nGpEiF1

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

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkBIPinmli

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”903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fvismsf3x
903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmEnztOBeQ

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

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sw0LsatH6

While they looked and did live

Death did want his queen to give

Jester screamed and cried

Another part of his soul had died

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pqq19C4im

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

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y8i39SS5z

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

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGfVeqEqN2

While they did deliberate

In a dungeon Jester did wait

Alone and afraid

The mad king's fate was made

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3yHjGnAK6

The one he thought of

Was his true love

His beautiful queen

So wonderful had she been

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjg17jNlc7

The trial was called

The people appalled

They demanded his death

And to be witness to his last breath

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq61Nyvk7J

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

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnw0lDd6mp

Taken when young

Jester's life was begun

He was changed

His Master deranged

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxPMf2mkkS

Around his neck, quite tight

The noose they tied

His closed his eyes

And faced the skies

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaOpS5XTsy

“Death,” the cried

He wished he had died

Along with his queen

Better, life would have been

903Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8xU3wxiLn

The noose did slip

He had freedom in his grip

Once a boy, almost a man

He grabbed the chance and he ran
