Carnival of the Damned

Welcome to the freakshow, you’re all invited in Bathe in blood and decadence engulf your soul in sin

The carnival awash with death, the poison in the veins The blood of life and innocence polishing your chains

A circus built on suffering, a midway lined with graves
Where hollow men sell happiness to hollow, broken slaves
The Ferris wheel of agony keeps turning through the night
A ritual of ruin spinning under blood-red light

Laughing mouths like gaping wounds, devouring all they see
This carnival of chaos feasts on lost humanity

Welcome to the nightmare, the carnival of souls,
Where madness is the master and corruption takes its toll.
Step into the darkness, let the wicked have their fill,
In the freakshow of the fallen, we were never meant to heal.
Blood on the banners, chaos in the ring, Bow before the horror of the circus of the damned we bring.

The puppeteer of parasites pulls strings of rotting bone
The beasts in cages howl your name, you’re never going home
Demons juggle severed truths while prophets choke on lies
The tent poles made of human limbs reach up to dying skies

Step deeper into madness where the monsters hold the keys
A kingdom built on carnage, crowned with your disease

Welcome to the nightmare, the carnival of souls,
Where madness is the master and corruption takes its toll.
Step into the darkness, let the wicked have their fill,
In the freakshow of the fallen, we were never meant to heal.
Blood on the banners, chaos in the ring, Bow before the horror of the circus of the damned we bring.

Gather ‘round the center ring where nightmares breed and thrive
Welcome to the freakshow, no one leaves alive

Clowns of contagion, laugh as you bleed!
Ringmasters rising, drunk on your need!
Beasts in their cages, tearing the seams!
This is the circus of dead human dreams!

Carnival collapsing, ashes and bone!
Calliope screaming, flesh overthrown!
Under the big top, the truth comes alive:
In the freakshow of extinction, no one survives.
