The Jester's Lament

[Verse] A jester's bells rang in the court so grand Watched her fall by the people's hand A princess crowned with a tyrant’s name Now ash and echoes fill her flame [Verse 2] Her silken words once cut like steel Promises broken Wounds couldn’t heal But beneath her wrath lay something deep A hope that the ages now won’t keep [Chorus] Oh Fools You cheered her final cry But you’ve let our last light die For all her sins She held the spark Now we wander blind through the dark [Verse 3] They jeered and roared as she did fall No thought left for the greater call A kingdom cracked by prideful hate Their justice came but sealed their fate [Verse 4] What fool am I to see it true To weep for her when none else do? No crown No throne Her faults her own But now the seeds of sorrow are sown [Chorus] Oh Fools You cheered her final cry But you’ve let our last light die For all her sins She held the spark Now we wander blind through the dark
