I Laugh In The Face Of Death

(앨범: The Black Labyrinth / A Requiem For The Goblin King - 2019)

I was just a child when I got this scar
And all the while I was not prepared
For a world so cruel, I was so scared
It only got worse, everyday I lived felt like a curse
Then one day I just broke, and in my despair I made a joke
And I laughed, I laughed, I laughed

Ever since that day
Well, I guess you could say
I've been this way
And though I still get sad
As long as I can laugh, it's not so bad

When you learn to look your demons in the eyes and smile
You'll find your deepest, darkest fears lose power for a while
And you'll laugh, you'll laugh

I laugh in the face of death
I'll laugh with my dying breath
I laugh when I ought to cry
I laugh when I want to die
I laugh at funerals
And meanwhile you're all thinking I'm a criminal
Because when I ought to cry, I just laugh

Some think it's strange, and even deranged
But laughing at the darkest things makes me feel okay
You should try it, you'll feel better that way

I laugh in the face of death
I'll laugh with my dying breath
I laugh when I ought to cry
I laugh when I want to die
I laugh at funerals
And meanwhile you're all thinking I'm a criminal
Because when I ought to cry, I just laugh

(What if you died?) I'd just laugh
(Or lose an eye?) I'd just laugh
(Or lose a leg?) I'd get a peg and rest it on a pirate's keg
(What if you drowned?) I'd just laugh
(Or fall down?) Well then you'd laugh
(A jester's crown is where your bound)
I'd gladly be your clown if you just laugh, just laugh, just laugh
