| Silence drowns the laughter | |
| And the last joke dies away | |
| A pain-contorted smile | |
| Is just a grimace in my face | |
| Oh - no one will realize | |
| Oh - the fear behind these eyes | |
| Dance around cutting capers and jokes | |
| Play the fool for another day | |
| From the first time when their laughter arose | |
| I was a victim on a royal stage | |
| Life's paradox I smile when I cry | |
| Out of vogue they'll kill me goodbye | |
| Behind a mask I'm hiding my sorrow | |
| Will I cheer, or die tomorrow | |
| [Bridge:] | |
| I struggle to juggle | |
| All my pain I receive from you | |
| Just a bit of approval - 'cause a jester's not only a fool | |
| [Chorus:] | |
| And the jester's crying - a lake of tears | |
| Sorrow's washing delight away | |
| And the jester's trying - to hide his fears | |
| Behind the fake of a smile (It's just a pathetic try) | |
| And if my antics starting to pall | |
| There will be no chance at all | |
| Their last amusement is to end my life | |
| I shall welcome the hangman's knife | |
| No one knows quite what it seems | |
| Laughter turns to desperate screams | |
| And the jester, and the jester, and the jester's trying | |
| And the jester, and the jester, can't stop his crying |
