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, hadnt seen it yet
Never felt the loving touch of a mothers hand
Still he never felt a thirst for revenge
His fate
was to live all alone
But he saw whats 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 jesters rise
He's calling your name in the dead of the night
So
come on watch the jesters rise
He's calling your name in the dead of the night
After the execution the pain didnt 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 jesters rise
He's calling your name in the dead of the night
So come on watch the jesters
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 jesters rise
He's calling your name in the dead of the night
So come on watch
the jesters rise
He's calling your name in the dead of the night
