[Introductions] [E minor] [1920s Radio Transatlantic accent over music] [Monophonic Voice] [Vamping 1920s music] Welcome! Ladies! and Gentlemen! Come, come! Step right up! Sit right down! Ahhh, what a fine crowd we have tonight, hmmm? [Slight pause, softer voice] [Stereophonic Voice] You, sir… Yes, yes, YOU! You cut a fine figure, I must say! If I may be so bold... Mmm…meee-ow...[whistle]…haha! [Sudden shift in tone, more sinister] And YOU, ma’am? Ohhh, you look positively delectable… Yes, yes, darling, I can see you! Speak up now, don't be shy. The music’s loud, after all! Ohhh, lovely! What’s that? Li’l ol' me? Oh, darling, I’m fantastic, thank ya! [Loud and Singingly] Okay chums!!! Are y’all ready!? Well then... [Singing, rising in energy and building tension] Salutations, all. I'm ecstatic you could come! To partake in all the fun— Oh, me? I’m your humble Ringmaster… And ohhh, do I have a treat for you tonight. Guaranteed to shock and to delight. Any less, darling, would be a disaster. So follow me…feel free,(feel free) As we cry out in laughter! Yes, come clap and point, you see? (Sì! Sì!) While we watch your souls... [pause, whispering] …bleed, break, and suffer! [Ringmaster Laughs Hauntingly] [Fast and Aggressive Devil Jazz Erupts with EDM Bass] [Verse 1] There are times in this life, Looking back at what’s been done, When, listlessly, we wander Underneath the Devil’s sun. As our skin cracks and blisters, A melody rings unsung. Our minds are left to suffer, From these thoughts we can’t outrun. [Pre-Chorus] So with destruction in my hands, I walk off into the unknown. Blinded by sand and fire, To face a hell of my own. [Chorus] As the smoke clears from the wreckage, this hollow heart cries for a home. Once a soul so strong and cherished, Now bleeds forgotten and alone. Still I search to find that passage, Out of this desert in which I roam. Where my dreams have all but perished, Underneath the Devil’s sun. [Interlude] [Suddenly Soft] [High-hat and finger snaps] [Verse 2] Spirits dance within the pavement, Whispers of dreams that soon will fade. In the heat of desperation, I take solace in hidden shade. [Building as all instruments rejoin] Through the haze of my memories, I chase shadows of lies I’ve spun, But they vanish, these apparitions, Once underneath the Devil’s sun. [Electric Guitar Joins] [Chorus] [Bridge] [Monophonic Transatlantic Radio Singing] [Piano only with massive reverb] And from the twilight, I hear their call, [Strings start] A symphony of sorrow, It’s bittersweet thrall. Still, I dance with demons, Now snared within their spin. Aware that when the music stops, [All Music Stops] I’ll see just how alone I’ve been. [Music Starts] [Demonic Solos to EDM beat] [Suddenly Half Time] [Chorus] [Regular Tempo] [Massive Finale] [Chorus] [Outro] I pray I find that passage, From underneath the Devil’s sun. [Haunting Laughter Fades Out]
