The Court Jester (feat. Fukase)
[00:03.28] And it seems that soon enough it too will be my job to reign
[00:07.75] Over all that you see, over all that you know
[00:12.26] As the king is slowly dying, any moment he could go
[00:16.76] Yes the king is slowly dying, any moment he will go
[00:29.76] Oh! Sweet memories, come rushing back to me
[00:33.27] As I trace my fingers on these haggard walls within your keep
[00:37.76] Though my exile still stands, I heard my duty call to me
[00:42.26] Because i am the court jester, I've grown tired of my sleep
[00:46.75] After all, i am the jester, and I've tired of my sleep
[00:52.50] What good is a crown if the brow it sits on is that of a dead man
[00:56.04] I'll wear my cap and painted smile with pride, my trusty baton in my hand
[01:00.50] And you will see me, sire, I'll make my way back to you
[01:04.75] You cannot stop me sire, your time is up, I see right through you
[01:09.50] Though resolute you may pretend to be inside your walls
[01:13.27] The people soon will realize that your feeble body can't forestall
[01:17.75] The inevitable end that we all will one day meet
[01:22.26] You are human, you are dying, yes know I it's bittersweet
[01:26.75] But you knew this day would come, and you can't borrow steal or cheat
[01:31.26] Yes, your maker gave you time, but you've run out, and soon you'll meet
[01:36.51] I was awoken by some nibbling in my brain
[01:40.00] A single thought, just like a knot, a stone, a weight I can't explain
[01:44.27] That sat there pulling me to consciousness and waking soon I found
[01:48.75] Myself entrenched in ancient earth, with roots and vines my arms were bound
[01:53.50] And in this post-hibernal state my mind was filled with clouds of doubt
[01:57.75] Were these my memories? or something else? and soon I felt the urge to get out
[02:02.76] Tearing, ripping, painful as it was
[02:07.50] Vines and leaves gave way easy just because
[02:12.00] All that's left in this world is decay;
[02:16.25] Soon I knew what caused me to awake
[02:21.00] With a newfound memory after rest
[02:25.50] I felt something bubbling in my chest
[02:29.75] Soon I felt myself losing control
[02:34.25] Peals of laughter rang into the distance from my soul
[02:38.75] I cannot recognize a single thing in front of me
[02:43.00] The world as I knew it now is gone, is this reality?
[02:47.50] Absurd and nonsensical, fantastical and daft
[02:52.25] All that is left to do is sit right down and laugh
[03:41.00] Oh this world that I left you in
[03:47.50] Has been tainted by your sin
[03:53.76] And as such I have now taken it upon myself
[03:59.00] To reinstate the reign of laughter and in health I will return
[04:06.77] Oh I am making my way back I will return
[04:10.76] Soon the people will remember the reason why they burn
[04:15.50] And the fires in their might will start to turn
[04:19.75] Pointing fists and shouting out with no more reason for concern
[04:33.00] Soon you will see! the world will turn upon its head!
[04:37.25] Just you hope that you can see it 'fore you're dead!
[04:41.50] Foolish king, you sit in empty meaning on your throne
[04:46.25] But in my time away you've ended up alone
[04:50.26] Oh, all the power in the world could never save you now
[04:54.00] As the time at which your curtain's called draws nearer, get ready to take your bow
[04:59.51] The age of reason is now drawing to a close!
[05:03.00] And now I, the mere court jester, will his majesty depose
[05:07.77] I will tip the gilded throne, in me the people will repose
[05:12.26] Because I am the court jester, not all thorns come with a rose
[05:16.50] After all, I am the jester, and this future I propose:
[05:21.22] Let the fool, let me, the jester, bring the olden tales to close
[05:26.26] Let the fool, let me, the jester, a new saga now compose
