The Clowns' Anthem is an ironic song sung in Drakenborg prison.
“
The Clowns dance on the scaffold
Rhythmically twitching and jerking
They sing their song
Of sadness and beauty
And the Clowns have all the fun
Every corpse will recall
When the stool's kicked away
And his eyes roll up to the sun.
The Clowns dance on the scaffold
Merrily twitching and jerking
And the wind carries their song
The chorus echoing all around...
