The Jester and the Soldier

Sitting in his broken world Littered with his broken dreams Though the days and nights pass by They are meaningless to him Mem'ries stream around his mind Battle noises fuel his screams Jesters really taken hold The soldiers life now looks grim Preying on his thoughts and fears Jester comes to leave his mark Soldiers on the battle ground Replaying his war again Bullets screaming past his head Lying low until it's dark His face etched in pure horror And all twisted from the pain Again, again, he relives war..... all over again Jester's playing with his life Feeding all his fears and pains Soldier feels the twisting knife As he relives war again Again, again, he relives war..... all over again Soldier cowers on the floor Curled into a ball so tight Hands on head to stop the hurt His whole body feels the pain Jester plucks his strings once more Flashing pictures grim and loud Soldiers fighting for his life On he battles once again Again, again, he relives war..... all over again Jester's playing with his life Feeding all his fears and pains Soldier feels the twisting knife As he relives war again Again, again, he relives war..... all over again He's the Jester.... he's poison in your mi..nd Dreams will fester..... he's cruel and unki..nd Poor poor soldier..... Jester won't let him.. go He's in his mind...... killing him sure but sl..ow Again, again, he relives war..... all over again Jester's playing with his life Feeding all his fears and pains Soldier feels the twisting knife As he relives war again Again, again, he relives war..... all over again Jester plays the meanest game Torments soldier night and day Never letting up on him Soldier cannot find respite Though he weeps and cries in pain He can't escape the Jester's play Battles raging through his mind Every day and every night Again, again, he relives war..... all over again Jester's playing with his life Feeding all his fears and pains Soldier feels the twisting knife As he relives war again Again, again, he relives war..... all over again Jane Shields (C)
