Lyrics
Scaretale

Once upon a time in a daymare
Dying to meet you, little child,
Enter, enter this sideshow
Time for bed, the cradle still rocks
13 chimes on a dead man?s clock
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
The bride will lure you, cook you, eat you
Your dear innocence boiled
To feed the evil in need of fear
Burning farms and squealing pigs
A pool of snakes to swim with
Oh sweet poison
Bite me, bite me
"Ladies and gentlemen
Be heartlessly welcome!
To Cirque De Morgue
And what a show we have for you tonight!"
Restless souls will put on their dancing shoes
Mindless ghouls with lot of limbs to lose
Illusionist, contortionist,
Tightrope-walkers tightening the noose
Horde of spiders, closet tentacles
Laughing harpies with their talons ripping,
Sher-chrisss, per-vizzz
The pendulum still sways for you
Such are the darks here to show you
Child in a corner
Fallen mirrors
All kingdom in cinders
