Punch'N'Judy - Pain of Lies

Ceremony at the castle
Crowd is dancin’ as every year
Jester`s creeping unobstrusive
To choose a victim for tonight
His evil game has just begun
The rumour`s spread a simple act
A traitor`s present to kill the master
Malicious joy on his face
The second face of the jollyman
You can see in his evil eyes
Don`t be deceived by his masquerade
`cause the jester – tells the lies 2x
Jester`s jumping – pulling faces
Crowd is laughin’ his master`s pleased
Before sunrise one of you guys
Will mount the scaffold – that`s my pleasure
An exclamation pierces the air
Conspirator is captured soon
Desperate man`s still protesting
„I`ve done nothing wrong“ (but) the verdict`s passed
The second face of the jollyman... 2x
Now it`s time to mount the scaffold
Now it`s time to feel the pain
The pain of lies....
Now it`s over – jester`s smiling
They`re to blind to see it`s my game they play
And the next year is approaching
(again) I`ll prepare a surprise for you
