Ballad of a Jester

In a land by the sea,870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwzFowC9wS

Where anything could be

Lived a boy, almost a man

Alone, surrounded by friends

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfOIryJ7JZ

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

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzJveUM4ZP

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

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISN8LWSyQq

When his Master had turned

And Jester was spurned

A sword he did swing

The Master no longer was living

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTrshFV5c3

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

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00VkXIRaI5

But his love was there

For her he had great care

All through the town

He followed her 'round

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFumik1G2p

Another she did meet

He fell upon his knees

Confront her he did

Her live the town missed

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L4YFoYRoR

Alone and afraid

The Jester did wait

Until in the ground she lay

Then he ran, ran away

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONqgcuqbTt

On the road he lived

He tried but he starved

The royal family took him in

Claiming to give him meaning

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQUBGGJgZ1

Recover in the castle

He promised no hassle

But work they gave

His life they were wont to save

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PcvzNRVom

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

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxsZsTq5vo

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

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJJRGuttrU

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

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhTVn9v579

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

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjrpeizpvU

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

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuOk6KnpvD

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”

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZFwaFQshi

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

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeJvLJGChR

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”870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeHSJTaI94
870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pyUefPlqo

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

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZGEpADVg7

While they looked and did live

Death did want his queen to give

Jester screamed and cried

Another part of his soul had died

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeRR3Ad0zK

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

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawfnXrVl0V

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

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrWn0VqKO7

While they did deliberate

In a dungeon Jester did wait

Alone and afraid

The mad king's fate was made

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRAikqcKRY

The one he thought of

Was his true love

His beautiful queen

So wonderful had she been

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85pQtGJhi3

The trial was called

The people appalled

They demanded his death

And to be witness to his last breath

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAWnwbDSIz

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

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6e0aKTHep

Taken when young

Jester's life was begun

He was changed

His Master deranged

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf21wfEzai

Around his neck, quite tight

The noose they tied

His closed his eyes

And faced the skies

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg9hDQTF7Y

“Death,” the cried

He wished he had died

Along with his queen

Better, life would have been

870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4KQpwid1D

The noose did slip

He had freedom in his grip

Once a boy, almost a man

He grabbed the chance and he ran
