Carnival of Shadows Lyrics

Step into the twilight, where the lights flicker low,

Hear the call of the carnival, it's time for the show.

Painted faces smiling, but their eyes tell a lie,

In the shadows they whisper, and they're watching you cry.

Broken rides are creaking, the tent's open wide,

There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere to hide.

Welcome to the carnival, the circus of the strange,

Where the laughter echoes, but the feeling's so deranged.

Clowns with twisted grins, tightropes made of fear,

The carnival is calling, but you shouldn't be here.

Through the misty mirrors, see your reflection twist,

Every corner you turn, there's something you've missed.

The trapeze is laughing, with eyes like burning coals,

It swings from the rafters, collecting lost souls.

Cotton candy clouds, but the sweetness fades away,

The carousel keeps spinning, but you can't escape the play.

Welcome to the carnival, the circus of the lost,

Where the laughter echoes, but the feeling's so deranged.

Clowns with twisted grins, tightropes made of fear,

The carnival is calling, but you shouldn't be here.

Cotton candy clouds, but the sweetness fades away,

The carousel keeps spinning, but you can't escape the play.

Welcome to the carnival, the circus of the lost,

Where the smiles are painted, and your soul's the cost.

A fun-house of illusions, tricks to steal your mind,

Step into the carnival, and leave yourself behind.

The ringmaster's voice is echoing your name,

You're part of the show now, a player in the game.

Clowns leap from the shadows, with faces pale and cold,

Trapeze's laughter rings as the nightmare unfolds.

Welcome to the carnival, the circus of the strange,

Where the laughter echoes, but the feeling's so deranged.

Clowns with twisted grins, tightropes made of fear,

The carnival is calling, but you shouldn't be here.

So run if you can, but the gates have closed tight,

The carnival owns you, till the end of the night.

In this dark parade of shadows and screams,

The carnival's forever, it's more than it seems…
