Requiem for My Harlequin Songtext
von Poets of the Fall

This is a requiem for the harlequin
The great pretender crashing down with style
Here′s to the fall of man, fame to dust, fortune to sand
The great surrender, finally arrived

This is how the requiem loves the harlequin
Wake up, your chains are porcelain
Like a phoenix, from the ashes, we will rise again
This is what the requiem loves to hear you sing
To the beat of your fool heart hammering
One more time, we'll cry into the night again, whoa-oh

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, yeah
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

This is a requiem for the comedian
The one who used to deftly dodge in time
You cut a sparkling gem, never heeding the warning
Of the silver glint of knives in hungry eyes


This is how the requiem loves the harlequin
Wake up, your chains are porcelain
Like a phoenix, from the ashes, we will rise again
This is what the requiem loves to hear you sing
To the beat of your fool heart hammering
One more time, we′ll cry into the night again, whoa-oh

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, yeah
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

So, how does it feel now?
Tell me, can you let it go?
The wrong you can't undo

So, how does it feel now?
Tell me, can you let it go?
The wrong you can't undo

This is how the requiem loves the harlequin
Breaking up this heart of porcelain
From the ashes, we will rise again
This is what the requiem loves to hear you sing
To the beat of your fool heart hammering
One more time, we′ll cry into the night again


This is how the requiem loves the harlequin
Wake up, your chains are porcelain
Like a phoenix, from the ashes, we will rise again
This is what the requiem loves to hear you sing
To the beat of your fool heart hammering
One more time, we′ll cry into the night again, whoa-oh
