[Verse 1] Step right up, the lights begin to glow, Laughter spills where the wild things roam. Painted smiles in the flicker of the night, under the big top, where dreams take flight. [Verse 2 - Increase intensity] Twirling colors, a dance of red and blue, Jesters jest, and the world feels new. Secrets whisper beneath the striped sky, in the heart of the ring, where fantasies lie (LIE! , LIE! , LIE) [Transition into Haunted Carnivalcore] [Chorus - AGGRESSIVE YELLING] COME AWAY WITH THE CLOWNS, IN THEIR FADED CROWNS, WHERE THE LAUGHTER DROWNS IN THE SHADOWS OF THE TOWN (SHADOWS OF THE TOWN). [Dramatic pause] SPIN AROUND, LOST SOUL, TIL THE DARKNESS SWALLOWS WHOLE (SWALLOW WHOLE), UNDER THE BIG TOP, WHERE THE LOST ONES STROLL (LOST ONES STROLL) [Verse 3 - whisper] Tiptoe on a wire, over sh-sh-sh-shadows dire, Each step a plea against the d-d-d-darkness's mire. Echoes (Echoes) of the past, under masks that last, C-C-C-Clow-ow-owns balance hope as the DIE IS CAST. (THE DIE IS CAST!) [interlude] [Bridge - Quiet] Hushed whispers (hushed whispers) beneath the carnival's ROAR! (ROAR!) P-P-P-Painted tears that flood the circus floor. (the circus floor) Desperate smiles on faces worn, (Faces worn) Beneath their make-make-makeup, hearts are torn. (hearts are torn) [Decrease Volume] [Chorus - Depressive A Cappella] Come away with the clowns (with the clowns), in their tattered gowns , Where the la-la-laughter dies in the echoes (echoes) of their frowns. [small pause] Spin around, lost soul, in the dark's cold hold, Under the big top, where all tales are sold (all tales are sold). [slow tempo instrumental] [Decrease BPM] [Outro - Sparse A Cappella] As the final curtain falls, darkness calls, (Darkness calls) [reduce vocals] Where once was light, now only night enthralls. (enthralls) Under the big top, the silence sprawls... [reduce vocals] Where cl-cl-clowns weep softly as the darkness mauls. (the darkness mauls) (darkness mauls) (mauls) [Fade out]
