In the shadow of the tent you'll see
A world where night devours glee
Flickering lights just out of sight
Whisper secrets in the night
Laughs of clowns dark and twisted
Mirrors show souls encrusted
Bass beats thump the ground below
In this circus shadows grow
A trapeze artist with a grin
Balancing fate on a whim
Her smile hides more than it shows
Mysteries only she knows
The lion tamer's quiet plea
Caged but never truly free
Smoke and echoes fill the air
In this tent of dark despair
A ringmaster with eyes of coal
Commands a symphony of souls
Her voice like velvet pulls you in
To a world of fright and sin
Laughs of clowns dark and twisted
Mirrors show souls encrusted
Bass beats thump the ground below
In this circus shadows grow
