Jon Storm The Jester Lyrics

The Jester Lyrics

My house stands upon a windswept moor

Nothing ever happens

Never -
through all recorded time

Nothing  ever happens



So why is
the stream running red?

Why are there so many dead?

Why did they
have to fight here?

Nothing ever happens here



I who have
never seen anything at all

Stood on a hill near my home

Watched how
the armies came together

Saw how the day was lost and won



In
battle clash the demons gnash

You hide yourself away

It isn't like
the legends I was taught

Ooh-ooh

Sing to me of glory

And I'll
sing to you of pain

And screaming heroes

Dying in the dust



And when I tried to ask the question

Why here?

They looked at me
like it was my fault

Wouldn't even tell me who they are



So
where is the smile on my face?

I have committed no disgrace

Though
the jester is my name

I will never laugh again.
