El Lamento de Jack

No one can deny
That I am a unique guy
A talent beyond compare

When it comes to scares
In the darkness
There's no one who can defeat me

Just a small dose of my ghostly charm
And even the bravest I make run
With just a skeletal hand movement
I've scared a thousand warriors at once

But year after year everything remains the same
And I'm tired of scaring so much
And I, Jack, the king around here
I'm tired of living like this

Inside my bony interior
I am empty, I am going empty
And there must be a reason
I must find the solution

I am a professional of infernal fright
And there's no being that can stand my face
There's no one on the whole planet who can mess with me
My legend will never die

And being a dead man I detach my head
And recite Shakespeare in verses
Neither man nor animal can imitate me
With the fury of my screams and gestures

But who will ever
Understand
That this poor king
Who dictated the law

Is tired of reigning
If they could understand
I could resign
If I could be

There's an emptiness here in my interior
In search of a what do I know
Power and honor I no longer want
With that the pain doesn't go away
