Danse Macabre - Jester's Farewell (solitude) lyrics

All who still remain Are leaving their shelter One by one The King leads his court The sun seeks it's own reflection On their clothes that shine like Gold I speak the language of the colourless present My words do not reach their ears anymore A quest in vain Trying to hold on to my youth But still I remember those princes and wenches He tries to tell me reality took over my soul The walls behind which I wish to dream Are coming down Those princes and wenches Visiting the castle Represented my infant years They flee into eternal woods Only the jester turns around One last time Now I recognise my sad companion Who kept me company Countless times The Jester kept me company countless times In hours that seemed darker than these He tries to tell me reality took over my soul The walls behind which I wish to dream Are coming down He tries to tell me reality took over my soul The walls behind which I wish to dream Are coming down down down!
