"Dies irae... veniet in rota... carousel inferni..."
Marching shadows, bone and flame
Painted grins without a name
Wheels that turn and never cease
Welcome to your end - in peace
II. Enter the Caravan
Rollin' in on thundered wheels
Painted beasts and iron heels
Crimson tents like open veins
Crimson skies and smoking trains
Drums pound in patterns arcane
Pulling madness through the rain
A twisted fair - no child's delight
This parade devours the night
I walked in chains of gold and gleam,
Now I lead this wicked dream.
Once a soul in glittered lace-
Now the ghost with painted face!
III. The Ringmaster's Spell
"Step right up!" he sings with bile,
"We eat your joy, then steal your smile!"
Top hat stitched from vulture skin,
He rides the serpent's violin.
A lash of light, a bell that tolls
The fire breather burns his soul
A fortune read in shattered glass
No future here - just cursed past!
IV. Wheel of Madness
Round and round the mirror spins,
Trapped inside our circus sins
Mirror, mirror in the smoke,
Which soul next will crack... and choke?
I tried to run, I tried to flee-
But the Dark Parade remembers me!
V. Wretched Revelations
Do you remember when we were free?
Children laughing under moonlit trees...
Before the Carnival claimed the sun,
Before the nightmare had begun.
Now we dance on splintered strings,
Puppets cursed by darker things...
And every town we pass shall fall-
And join our waltz, their names recalled.
My name was never meant to fade...
But I am lost inside the Parade.
VI. Finale - Burn the Banners
Burn the banners, break the wheel!
Shed this mask and start to feel!
Raise the fire to the sky-
Let this cursed carnival die!
