The Vanishing Circus Lyrics

Underneath the faded lights the circus stands alone

Tattered tents sway in the breeze where laughter once had grown

But now the air is cold and still no echoes of the crowd

Only whispers on the wind the silence screaming loud

The posters torn the colors bled the rides rust in decay

A ghostly call that beckons you come closer if you may

But once you cross the shattered gate there's no turning around

For here the people vanish fast and none are ever found

In the vanishing circus souls are lost in time

One by one they slip away to a haunting endless rhyme

The tents will swallow everything no matter how you plead

In the vanishing circus you're the next it needs

The carousel spins slow though no hand turns the gears

And faces in the fun-house glass reflect your darkest fears

The clowns all wear their frozen masks but something moves inside

A shadow slips between the cracks where all the vanished hide

You see a glimpse you hear a cry but when you reach it's gone

The circus feeds on wandering souls beneath the dying dawn

Cotton candy melts to dust the popcorn's stale and dry

And those who've vanished from the world still roam beneath the sky

In the vanishing circus souls are lost in time

One by one they slip away to a haunting endless rhyme

The tents will swallow everything no matter how you plead

In the vanishing circus you're the next it needs

The lion's roar the juggler's flames they flicker in the dark

But every act is just a trap that leaves no trace no mark

The ringmaster with hollow eyes he calls you to the ring

But once you step into the light you'll hear the darkness sing

In the vanishing circus souls are lost in time

One by one they slip away to a haunting endless rhyme

The tents will swallow everything no matter how you plead

In the vanishing circus you're the next it needs

So when you see the circus rise beneath a blood-red moon

Beware the lure of mystery for it will take you soon

The crowd may cheer the lights may glow but none will ever stay

For in the vanishing circus all will fade away
