Jester's March - Jester's Rise lyrics

He was a crippled kid, got no one at his side 'Cos he looked so deformed he avoided the daylight He didn't believe in childhood, hadn't seen it yet Never felt the loving touch of a mother's hand Still he never felt a thirst for revenge His fate was to live all alone But he saw what's going on all around They starved in the name of thee crown They died for the crown He only knew a change has to come Stood innocent in front of the sin Accused the king of being cruel and false He was sentenced to wear a mask of steel So come on watch the jester's rise He's calling your name in the dead of the night So come on watch the jester's rise He's calling your name in the dead of the night After the execution the pain didn't stop But after a while he knew he could stand up The king wanted to see him to feast his eyes On a stigmatized crawling down on the ground Now a jester he entertained the king By and by he relied on him He carefully began to tell him lies Influenced the king by and by So come on watch the jester's rise He's calling your name in the dead of the night So come on watch the jester's rise He's calling your name in the dead of the night Oh, thank the Lord that I'm still alive Behind this mask of steel I'll taste sweet revenge For the pain I had to feel He's poisoned by my lies And he's too blind to see But I have to be so careful I mustn't lose my head in the end He's got what he wanted the king's caught in his trap Captured in a net of lies so delicate and thin So come on watch the jester's rise He's calling your name in the dead of the night So come on watch the jester's rise He's calling your name in the dead of the night
