Jester's Consequence
I can see the masks you know
Worn to act out our fate
Dancing with, dancing with
The darkened spotlight
Weeping on this hangman's stage
You see my mask with ruby lips
A clown for all occasions
Today the fool, today the fool
Tomorrow philosopher
But all this smiling is killing me
I've spent too much time here
And I've played far too many roles
The butcher, the baker
The calloused heart maker
Theatrics of my life unfold, oh
Dancing in this masquerade
Sincerity whispered a song to me
See the truth, see the truth
Its silence is deafening
Blinding all unreality
All the world's a twisting stage
And we its dizzy players
Will we know, will we know
At the final exit
A jester's life has consequence
I've spent too much time here
And I've played far too many roles
The butcher, the baker
The calloused heart maker
Theatrics of my life unfold
All the world's a twisting stage
And we its dizzy players
Will we know, will we know
At the final exit
A jester's life has consequence
Worn to act out our fate
Dancing with, dancing with
The darkened spotlight
Weeping on this hangman's stage
You see my mask with ruby lips
A clown for all occasions
Today the fool, today the fool
Tomorrow philosopher
But all this smiling is killing me
I've spent too much time here
And I've played far too many roles
The butcher, the baker
The calloused heart maker
Theatrics of my life unfold, oh
Dancing in this masquerade
Sincerity whispered a song to me
See the truth, see the truth
Its silence is deafening
Blinding all unreality
All the world's a twisting stage
And we its dizzy players
Will we know, will we know
At the final exit
A jester's life has consequence
I've spent too much time here
And I've played far too many roles
The butcher, the baker
The calloused heart maker
Theatrics of my life unfold
All the world's a twisting stage
And we its dizzy players
Will we know, will we know
At the final exit
A jester's life has consequence
