A Metaphor For The Dead lyrics

Act! While in delirium I no longer know what I say Or what I do! And yet it's necessary, make an effort! Bah! Are you not a man? Naked and alone, before the cadaver Ridi, Pagliaccio Sul tuo amore infranto! Ridi del duol, che t'avvelena il cor! Put on your costume And powder your face The people pay to be here, and they want to laugh And Death shall seal your regret Laugh, clown, so the crowd will cheer! A pane of glass shattered, yet finally clear Ridi, Pagliaccio Sul tuo amore infranto! Ridi del duol, che t'avvelena il cor!
