the paint is cracked and she is weary
the harlequin is on the hunt
she finds her strength in what the joker said:
‘that what does not kill you,
makes you stranger’ yet…’
somewhere in the lurking shadows
a dark knight whispers to a robin
tonight she might be caught in his net
but the harlequin always returns again,
with no regrets
harlequin hunts tonight
the joke is on the joker
and she is ready to fight
her love is waiting in the asylum for her
beware the harlequin stirs…
