Jester (by TorturedEmpire)

Single track titled "Jester" from the Vermilion EP
I don’t claim to be an artist, nor do I claim to be a musician. I enjoy telling stories, and thanks to modern technology, I’ve been able to do so in a way I would have never imagined. If you enjoy what I do, I appreciate you and the support you bring. If you don’t enjoy what I make then no loss no gain, friend. I appreciate you regardless.

Lyrics:
(Verse1)
There’s a voice inside my head again
It’s forcing me to play pretend
Got me locked inside a cold domain
With twisted bars I can’t unbend
Let me live my life a normal man
I wasn’t meant to brandish steel
I can’t follow through with your dark plan
I’m drowning in the hate you feel
(Chorus)
Why in the hell am I feeling this way?
The voice in my head wants to come out and play
Driven by anger, can’t keep him at bay
My visions of reason are starting to sway
(Verse2)
Fuck it.. God
Hickory
Dickory-dickory dock
Cut the face from off the clock
The hands of time are just like you
Split between the ten and two
Who are you? No, who are we?
On simple terms we can’t agree
Without you there is no “me”
And only I can set you free
(Chorus)
Why in the hell am I feeling this way?
The voice in my head wants to come out and play
Driven by anger, can’t keep him at bay
My visions of reason are starting to sway
No longer scared of the songs that I sing
The blood on my hands is the blood of my king
His kingdom of filth will fall to the ground
Among all the ruin, my Queen shall be crowned
(Bridge)
No more “me” there’s only “we”
I’m your jester, can’t you see?
Underneath this burning sun
Let’s paint the earth vermilion
(Chorus)
Why in the hell am I feeling this way?
The voice in my head wants to come out and play
Driven by anger, can’t keep him at bay
My visions of reason are starting to sway
No longer scared of the songs that I sing
The blood on my hands is the blood of my king
His kingdom of filth will fall to the ground
Among all the ruin, my Queen shall be crowned
