The Macabre Waltz

[Spoken Word: Newscast] Step right up for the dance of the clowns, so dark, so bleak Hear the calliope's twisted peak Where laughs twist in morbid streaks And evil grins in the music speaks [Instrumental Interlude: Calliope] [Chorus: Ghostly Whispers] Life spins on life spins on life in this waltz Through shadows, they prance, as the dark pulse exalts [Spoken Word: Newscast] Step into the tent, the eerie dusk falls The shadows beckon where the laughing echo calls Twirling, spinning, in the waltz of the depraved Where jesters wear crowns and the path to doom is paved [Instrumental Interlude: Organ with Music Box Twinkle] [Chorus: Ghostly Whispers and Noisy Cats] Round and round, the dance of the morose Where creaking fears merge, and madness comes close [Spoken Word: Newscast] Beneath the big top's feverish glow, a twisted game begins Where the ringmaster's laugh infects, and the macabre fun spins Circles of madness, hints of dread, in the dance of the scorned Evil jests from painted lips, where sanity's torn [Instrumental Interlude: Upbeat but Off-kilter Organ] [Chorus: Ghostly Whispers and Noisy Cats] In and out, the dancers glide with a chilling mirth Shadowed eyes flicker bright, as they circle the earth
