The Court Jester(feat. Fukase) - thquib/Fukase (深瀬慧)
Lyrics by：thquib
Composed by：thquib
I am the Jester
My job's to entertain
And it seems that soon enough it
Too will be my job to reign
Over all that you see
Over all that you know
As the king is slowly dying
Any moment he could go
Yes the king is slowly dying
Any moment he will go
Oh sweet memories
Come rushing back to me
As I trace my fingers on these
Haggard walls within your keep
Though my exile still stands
I heard my duty call to me
Because I am the court Jester
I've grown tired of my sleep
After all I am the jester
And I've tired of my sleep
What good is a crown
If the brow it sits
On is that of a dead man
I'll wear my cap
And painted smile with pride
My trusty baton in my hand
And you will see me sire
I'll make my way back to you
You cannot stop me sire
Your time is up
I see right through you
Though resolute you may pretend
To be inside your walls
The people soon will realize
That your feeble body can't forestall
The inevitable end
That we all will one day meet
You are human you are dying
Yes know I it's bittersweet
But you knew this day would come
And you can't borrow steal or cheat
Yes your maker gave you time
But you've run out
And soon you'll meet
I was awoken by some nibbling in my brain
A single thought
Just like a knot a stone
A weight I can't explain
That sat there pulling me to consciousness
And waking soon I found
Myself entrenched in ancient earth
With roots and vines my arms were bound
And in this post-hibernatal state
My mind was filled with clouds of doubt
Were these my memories
Or something else
And soon I felt the urge to get out
Tearing ripping
Painful as it was
Vines and leaves gave way easy just because
All that's left in this world is decay
Soon I knew what caused me to awake
With a newfound memory after rest
I felt something bubbling in my chest
Soon I felt myself losing control
Peals of laughter rang
Into the distance from my soul
I cannot recognize a single thing in front of me
The world as I knew it now is gone
Is this reality
Absurd and nonsensical
Fantastical and daft
All that is left to do
Is sit right down and laugh
Oh this world that I left you in
Has been tainted by your sin
And as such I have now taken it upon myself
To reinstate the reign of laughter
And in health I will return
Oh I am making my way back
I will return
Soon the people will remember
The reason why they burn
And the fires in their might will start to turn
Pointing fists and shouting out
With no more reason for concern
Soon you will see
The world will turn upon it's head again
Just you hope that you can see it
'Fore you're dead
Foolish king you sit in
Empty meaning on your throne
But in my time away you've ended up alone
Oh all the power in the world
Could never save you now
As the time at which your curtain's
Called draws nearer
Get ready to take your bow
The age of reason is now drawing to a close
And now I the mere court Jester
Will his majesty depose
I will tip the gilded throne
In me the people will repose
Because I am the court Jester
Not all thorns come with a rose
After all I am the jester
And this future I propose
Let the fool let me the jester
Bring the olden tales to close
Let the fool let me the jester
A new saga now compose
