The Jester Who Cheated Death

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
