Hollowed Ground - Joker's Wild

(Verse 1)
In shadows where the whispers die,
The fools dance close, with a knowing eye,
Chained to the throne of the heartless kings,
They smile as the darkness savors their strings.
With masks of laughter, they're buried in shame,
The jesters play on, but feel the flame,
Rulers draped in gold, yet their hearts are cold,
In the court of despair, the truth unfolds.

(Chorus)
Joker's wild, in this game of fools,
With chains of carnage, we break all the rules,
Fear in the night, hatred ignites,
Revenge is a plague that will swallow the light.

(Verse 2)
Beneath the surface, the pestilence breeds,
A venomous foe, planting hatred's seeds,
As the jesters bleed, they laugh at the pain,
The rulers' disdain, a relentless chain.
A symphony of screams echoes through the halls,
The feet of the masters, the laughter that mauls,
With every jest made, a dagger is thrown,
In the realm of the wicked, the seeds are sown.

(Chorus)
Joker's wild, in this game of fools,
With chains of carnage, we break all the rules,
Fear in the night, hatred ignites,
Revenge is a plague that will swallow the light.

(Bridge)
A tempest of souls, where shadows collide,
The jesters rise up, no longer denied,
The court was a cage, but now they’ll take flight,
As blood paints the walls in the dead of the night.
With laughter like thunder, they gather their might,
No longer the servants, they'll set wrongs to right.
The rulers fall silent, their power decayed,
A reckoning comes, as the jester's dismayed.

(Chorus)
Joker's wild, in this game of fools,
With chains of carnage, we break all the rules,
Fear in the night, hatred ignites,
Revenge is a plague that will swallow the light.

(Outro)
So let the laughter ring out, let the shadows consume,
In the halls of the heartless, we carve out their tomb,
For the jesters are rising, and kings will be slain,
In the chaos of justice, we’ll dance in the rain.
The chains of carnage that once bound our souls,
Now fuel our revenge as we take back control,
In the Joker's wild, where fury's unleashed,
The fools will rejoice as the darkness has feasted!
