The Court Jester
At court, his words were widely known
To be the wisest of the day
The court jester had always shown
The truth that no one dared to say
A jolly man he was, indeed
Yet, carefully his speech he chose
He entertained the king and queen
But naked truth covered his prose
Examining his environment
The people and the kingdom's land
The mirror image in his hand
Oh, finally, he could understand
Nothing is what it seems
Nothing is what it used to be
Through the magnifying glass
Nothing is what it seems
Nothing is what it used to be before
Through the magnifying glass
May reason guide you on your path
One day, the cattle in the field
Were restless as the day turned dark
The peasants saw a shadow shield
That swallowed up the sun
This can't be but a sign of God
To punish us for what we've done
The king and queen showed them a nod
The sun in darkness shone
Examining his environment
The people and the kingdom's land
The mirror image in his hand
Oh, finally, he could understand
Nothing is what it seems
Nothing is what it used to be
Through the magnifying glass
Nothing is what it seems
Nothing is what it used to be before
Through the magnifying glass
May reason guide you on your path
The court jester, he joined the crowd
To solve the mystery
His jolly bells, they rang so softly
Just like yesterday
But things had changed
His words were banned
Now his truth was spurned here
He was not welcome in a land
With a society of fear
Nothing is what it seems
Nothing is what it used to be
Through the magnifying glass
Nothing is what it seems
Nothing is what it used to be before
Through the magnifying glass
Nothing is what it seems
Nothing is what it used to be
Through the magnifying glass
Nothing is what it seems
Nothing is what it used to be before
Through the magnifying glass
May reason guide you on your path
To be the wisest of the day
The court jester had always shown
The truth that no one dared to say
A jolly man he was, indeed
Yet, carefully his speech he chose
He entertained the king and queen
But naked truth covered his prose
Examining his environment
The people and the kingdom's land
The mirror image in his hand
Oh, finally, he could understand
Nothing is what it seems
Nothing is what it used to be
Through the magnifying glass
Nothing is what it seems
Nothing is what it used to be before
Through the magnifying glass
May reason guide you on your path
One day, the cattle in the field
Were restless as the day turned dark
The peasants saw a shadow shield
That swallowed up the sun
This can't be but a sign of God
To punish us for what we've done
The king and queen showed them a nod
The sun in darkness shone
Examining his environment
The people and the kingdom's land
The mirror image in his hand
Oh, finally, he could understand
Nothing is what it seems
Nothing is what it used to be
Through the magnifying glass
Nothing is what it seems
Nothing is what it used to be before
Through the magnifying glass
May reason guide you on your path

Now his truth was spurned here
He was not welcome in a land
With a society of fear
Nothing is what it seems
Nothing is what it used to be
Through the magnifying glass
Nothing is what it seems
Nothing is what it used to be before
Through the magnifying glass
Nothing is what it seems
Nothing is what it used to be
Through the magnifying glass
Nothing is what it seems
Nothing is what it used to be before
Through the magnifying glass
May reason guide you on your path
