Queen of the Ring Lyrics

The tent's worn thin, patched in places

A faded banner waves, all lost faces

She steps on the sawdust, her feet feel the weight

Of a thousand nights, all tangled with fate

The spotlight flickers, casting a dim glow

Her sequins glitter, but her heart's running slow

And the wheel spins round, but she's standing still

The crowds come for magic, but she's had her fill

The colors are bright, but they're starting to fade

In the dust of the ring where her dreams were made

She's a queen in the ring, but she's tired inside

A painted smile where her true self hides

The lions roar, but they don't scare her now

She dances on tightropes, can't remember how

The ropes are frayed, the music's too loud

But she twirls and bows for the faceless crowd

Her makeup's thick, hiding cracks in her soul

A life on the road, it's taken its toll

And the wheel spins round, but she's standing still

The crowds come for magic, but she's had her fill

The colors are bright, but they're starting to fade

In the dust of the ring where her dreams were made

She's a queen in the ring, but she's tired inside

A painted smile where her true self hides

The stars above the tent don't shine like before

She watches the others pack up and ignore

The aches in her bones, the weight in her chest

As the caravans move on, she's longing for rest

But the wheel spins round, and she plays her part

The crowds see the glitter, but they miss her heart

The colors once bright are now shadows and grey

She's lost in the dust as the Circus moves away

She's a queen in the ring, but her reign feels done

A painted smile, but the magic's gone
