The Jester Songtext
von All Too Human

In the waking hour
I hear the jester′s song
Everything I've dreamed of
It brings my spirit home

He can take your sadness
And turn it into a dream
He can take all the madness, yeah
And let it out in scream

He can take your suffering
And wash away all your tears
He can take what you′re hiding, yeah
And bring it out in the clear


The stillness of the morning
The breath of days gone by
Awakened from a restless sleep
He hears the children's cries
The children gasp in wonder
As the jester holds their gaze
He wields magic and illusion
To bewilder and amaze

With a broken smile and an empty heart
He will make you laugh aloud
But the emptiness that his heart now fills
Has him go up from the crowd

A jester in the waking hour of innocence
A fool who feeds on laughter from the heart

Tossing, turning, twisting, burning
Wasted years in the jester's life
A modern day Moses
Leads you to the promised land
Just a spiritual illusion
Left with nothing in your hands
The jester on the outside
Hides a tearful soul
And with every passing moment
He seems to lose control


As the first minute midnight
Pains the evening sky
And the darkness falls over you
He will lead you to sunlight
He will promise no fear
When there seems nothing left you can do

A jester in the waking hour of innocence
A fool who feeds on laughter from the heart
A jester in the waking hour of innocence
A fool who feeds on laughter from the heart
A jester in the waking hour of innocence
A jester in the waking hour of innocence
A fool who feeds on laughter from the heart
A jester in the waking hour of innocence

Can you feel the sadness?
Can you feel the madness?
Do it for the league of jesters
