Title:
“Jester’s Lament”

Full Song Lyrics:

Verse 1:
[G] Once upon a [D] time, in a [Em] world so divine, [C]
[G] A jester danced along, [D] singing an ironic song. [Em] [C]
[G] His laughter echoed [D] loud, [Em] yet he wore a silent shroud. [C]
[G] A mask of joy, a heart of sorrow, [D] fearing the despair of tomorrow. [Em] [C]

Chorus:
[G] Oh, the jester’s lament, [D] a soul in torment. [Em] [C]
[G] He smiles in the mirror, [D] but his eyes scream in terror. [Em] [C]
[G] A laugh, a cry, hidden in the night sky, [D]
[Em] This is the jester’s lament, [C] his soul’s testament. [G]

Verse 2:
[G] Behind the curtain, [D] where the spotlight is uncertain, [Em] [C]
[G] He weeps for the world, [D] his true feelings unfurled. [Em] [C]
[G] Laughter, his shield, [D] pain, forever concealed. [Em] [C]

(Repeat Chorus)

Outro:
[G] In this world of illusion, [D] he laughs at our confusion. [Em] [C]
[G] But listen close, my friend, [D] to the jester’s lament. [Em] [C]
