Lyrics

The Silver Jester

[intro]
There once was a jester 
although his name was not Chester
but something silly and droll
not unlike an educated troll

[verse]
he spinned and danced
uncivilized, regally pranced
a court jester, mocked
he would get them shocked

[verse]
therefore the silly jester woke 
in the dungeon drab, alone
chained to a table soon
he found himself a foolish toon

[solo]

[verse]
an unrelenting terror he had to overcome,
needles, hacksaws and chains
a mockery of lizardman he had become 
as he emerged from the dungeon of pains

[solo]

[verse]
one night in the court of the mad
lizardman's pitiful acts so sad
a mysterious traveler of gold
roared the merciful words of old

[verse]
one night in the court of the mad
lizardman's pitiful acts so sad
a mysterious traveler of gold
roared the merciful words of old

[solo]


[chorus]
the lizardman's scales shimmered
eyes wide with silvery haze torn
the audiance's souls feared and quivered
a silver dragon of ethereal was born

[outro]
the tyrant's story ended
with his body bended
silver dragon mended
the silver dragon, now mended!
he flys free and high
the tyrant's story ended!
