The Great Sun Jester by Blue Ăyster Cult (1979)
They have killed the Great Sun Jester
Who danced between the stars
They have stripped him of his manhood
Signs of venus and of mars
The cynics left him weeping
And the jackals left him torn
And the jester reaches out blind hands
He can touch the stars no more
-
And he took the stars in his hands
And as he scattered them heâd shout
âIâm the joker of the universe, Iâm what itâs all about!â
Now heâs dying in his grief
And the hard men dragged him down
They have killed the wild-eyed jester
They have killed the fire clown
-
Now his blind eyes seek the starlight
And his fingers seek controls
To take him into space again
Where he was both young and old
The dancerâs stiff with pain
And theyâve made him kneel too long
And the madness they have driven out
Theyâve left him cold
And sane
...
