Майкл Муркок
They have killed the great Sun-Jester,
And he danced for us,
He took the stars in his hands,
Now his blind eyes seek the starlight,
And he'll never sing his songs again,
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 laughed for us,
And he gave us all he had,
He was Jesus, he was Jonas,
He was good and he was bad.
And as he scattered them he'd shout,
«I'm the Joker of the Universe,
I'm what it's all about!»
Now he's dying in his dream,
And the hard me dragged him down,
They have killed the Great Sun Jester,
They have killed the Fireclown.
And his fingers seek controls,
To take him into space again,
Where he was both young and old.
The Dancer's stiff with pain,
They've made him kneel too long,
And the madness they have driven out,
They've left him cold and sane.
He'll never dance between the stars again,
He'll never laugh again,
No, He'll never, ever laugh again.
