[Verse] The calliope screams A cursed delight Twisted shadows dance in the broken light Painted faces grin But their eyes don’t blink The air reeks of death—don’t dare to think [Chorus] Welcome to the Carnival of the Damned No escape No path No promised land! Laughter shreds your soul It’s all a sham Beware the clowns—they’ll drag you in hand by hand! [Verse 2] Blood-stained sawdust under crimson skies A mirror maze traps you with hollow lies Cotton candy drips Red as the flame Every soul a prize Every scream a name [Prechorus] Step right up Don’t hesitate Your doom awaits beyond the gate [Chorus] Welcome to the Carnival of the Damned No escape No path No promised land! Laughter shreds your soul It’s all a sham Beware the clowns—they’ll drag you in hand by hand! [Bridge] The Ferris wheel turns Each scream a cog Their carousel grinds Souls lost in fog Spirits wail as exhibits of pain Round and round—forever they remain
