Manikins Laugh of Terror

(Verse 1) In the window they are waiting, dressed in faded lace, Hollow eyes of painted glass, a frozen, smiling face. The night is cold and silent, but the silence starts to crack, When the mannequins awaken, and there’s no turning back. (Pre-Chorus) Their footsteps echo hollow, Their shadows stretch and leer, And then the laughter follows— A sound you’ll always fear. (Chorus) Manikin’s laugh of terror, echoing through the hall, A choir of the lifeless, with voices sharp and raw. Manikin’s laugh of terror, it chills your blood to stone, A carnival of horror, where you are all alone. (Verse 2) Their porcelain mouths are cracking, wide with jagged teeth, Hands of wood reach out for me, the air too tight to breathe. The mirrors show reflections of things that shouldn’t be, And every time they whisper, it sounds like mockery. (Pre-Chorus) Their grins are sharp as razors, Their eyes are dark as graves, And laughter fills the night sky, From the masters and the slaves. (Chorus) Manikin’s laugh of terror, echoing through the hall, A choir of the lifeless, with voices sharp and raw. Manikin’s laugh of terror, it chills your blood to stone, A carnival of horror, where you are all alone. (Bridge) The sound won’t stop, it circles me, It scratches, claws, won’t let me free. Their laughter builds, a deadly choir, It burns my soul, it feeds the fire. (Final Chorus) Manikin’s laugh of terror, it rings inside my head, A mocking song of madness, among the walking dead. Manikin’s laugh of terror, a joke that cuts like knives, I’ll never leave this nightmare— They’ll laugh out all my life. (Outro – Whispered/Distorted) “Ha… ha… ha… forever…”
