The Jester Who Cheated Death Lyrics

As I lay in the arms of the reaper

I shed a tear for the life I had left

And I took my last breath

But then, in a flash

I woke up in the grass

Near the scene of the crime

Here I am, still alive

I was a monkey

A bit of a junkie

I wasted my life, yet for all my crimes

I am alive again

So I danced with a joy to the citadel

'Hey everyone, I've come back from the edge!

I've come back from the dead!'

And though they despised me

And left me to die

There I stood, in the flesh

As they all scratched their heads

Although you killed me,

I hope you missed me

Cus I'm not afraid of you anymore

For I am alive again

The fool is back

And oh, can't you tell

By the chime of my bells

I am alive again

The tables have turned

Now that I have returned

Once the fool of the town

The immortal clown

I was a monkey

A bit of a junkie

I wasted my life, yet for all my crimes

I am alive again

The fool is back

And oh, can't you tell

By the chime of my bells

I am alive again
