I stood by the river where the shadows call, The moonlight whispers secrets through the trees, A heart once brave now feels so small, As the echoes of your laughter bring me to my knees. The dreams we painted on the edge of time, Now fade like footprints washed away by the tide. I reach for memories, searching for a rhyme, But love's cruel lessons leave me empty inside. Tell the ferryman my story, Of love that bloomed like a wild rose, Through the pain and the glory, Let him carry my heart where it goes. I wore my anger like a heavy cloak, Each word you spoke, a dagger to my soul, But in the ashes, I began to choke, Finding strength within the cracks of my whole. Nostalgia wraps me in a bittersweet embrace, As I wander down those haunted streets alone. You were the fire, now I can’t find the space, To let you go, but I’m learning to atone. Tell the ferryman my story, Of love that bloomed like a wild rose, Through the pain and the glory, Let him carry my heart where it goes. Through the storms and the sorrow, I rise like the dawn, With every tear, I’ll borrow, A lesson to move on. Acceptance holds me gently, As I carve my own path, A heart once torn and empty, Now learns to dance with the past. Tell the ferryman my story, Of love that bloomed like a wild rose, Through the pain and the glory, Let him carry my heart where it goes. So tell the ferryman my story, I’ll face the tomorrow, let the river flow. With longing turned to acceptance, I’ve finally learned to let go. Tell the ferryman my story, As the river winds and the seasons show, Let him carry my heart where it goes. Oh, let him carry my heart where it goes.

Intro: (Creepy, music box-style synth plays softly, then distorted guitars smash in with chaotic drum fills) The sound of sinister laughter echoes faintly in the background Verse 1: Dancing in the shadows, blades in hand, A puppet master, I control the land. You never know where I might be, A smile is all you’ll ever see. Pre-Chorus: Behind your back, I make my move, Disappearing in the groove. You think you're safe, but you're my prey, In this game, I always play. Chorus: I’m the jester, master of deceit, Twisting your fate, making you bleed. From the darkness, I strike with glee, It’s your nightmare, welcome to my spree! (Laughing all the while—Shaco’s smile!) Verse 2: Boxes hidden, traps are set, You’re walking into my cruel net. A twisted clone, you think I’m done, But I’m the one who’s just begun. Pre-Chorus: Behind your back, I make my move, Disappearing in the groove. You think you're safe, but you're my prey, In this game, I always play. Chorus: I’m the jester, master of deceit, Twisting your fate, making you bleed. From the darkness, I strike with glee, It’s your nightmare, welcome to my spree! (Laughing all the while—Shaco’s smile!) Bridge: You can’t escape, you can’t survive, When I appear, you’re barely alive. With one last stab, I vanish away, But the nightmare’s here to stay. Breakdown (Guitar solo): (A twisted, chaotic guitar solo representing the mayhem Shaco brings to the game, fast and unpredictable) Chorus (x2): I’m the jester, master of deceit, Twisting your fate, making you bleed. From the darkness, I strike with glee, It’s your nightmare, welcome to my spree! (Laughing all the while—Shaco’s smile!) Outro: (Creepy synths fade out as a distant, chilling laugh echoes into silence) (The sound of blades being sharpened can be faintly heard in the background)
