Jester & The Soldier
Sitting in his broken world Feeds his fears twists the knife
Littered with his broken dreams Again, again can't take much more
Days and nights pass slowly by Again all over again
Meaningless to him
Mem'ries stream around his mind Jester plays the meanest game
Battle noises fuel his screams Torments soldier night and day
Jesters really taken hold Never letting up on him
Soldier’s life looks grim Can't find no respite
Though he weeps and cries in pain
Preying on his thoughts and fears Can't escape the Jester's play
Jester comes to leave his mark Battles raging through his mind
Soldier's on the battle ground All day every night
Replays war again
Bullets screaming past his head Again, again, reliving war
Lying low until it's dark Again all over again
His face etches pure horror Jester’s playing with his life
Twisted from his pain Feeds his fears twists the knife
Again, again can't take much more
Again, again, reliving war Again all over again
Again all over again
Jester’s playing with his life He's the Jester.... spins poison
Feeds his fears twists the knife. through your mind
Again, again can't take much more Dreams will fester..... laced with
Again all over again cruel and unkind
Poor poor soldier..... Jester won't
Soldier cowers on the floor let him go
Curled into a ball so tight He's in his mind...... killing him
Hands on head to stop the hurt sure but slow
Body wracked in pain
Jester plucks his strings once more Again, again, reliving war
Flashing pictures grim and loud Again all over again
Soldier’s fighting for his life Jester’s playing with his life
Battling once again Feeds his fears twists the knife
Again, again can't take much more
Again, again, reliving war Again all over again
Again all over again
Jester’s playing with his life Jane Shields (C)
