The Ringmaster

Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls
Welcome to this marvelous massacre
We have an abundance of events still to come
Take a seat, buy some booze and popcorn
As you prepare to witness the slaughter
Enjoy the show

Unleash the acrobats
Trained animals and trapeze acts
Fire the human cannonballs
And hunt your desired flesh
Bathe in the blood the red carpet paved
Dance in the flames with the deranged

Come on over to the party made for you to enjoy
The bitter taste of Solitude
Plenty people here alone for you to join
The ultimate fortitude

Family and friends will be here when you call them
It's of importance to tradition
Cameras live it's almost time to start the ritual
The pawns are on their way

I always smile when we gather to grieve
I always frown when they think it's time to leave
This party is forever when we come together
The only fortune to pay is a limb for me to dismember

Contortionists are bending back
Staring at the audience snapping necks
Blood hungry for the next act
The crowd goes wild
People start to disappear
Illusions brought to light

Come on over to the party made for you to enjoy
The sweetest taste of Solitude
Plenty people here alone for you to join
The ultimate fortitude
Collapses when approached

Welcome to my sanctum
You're locked inside my home
I can't stop craving violence
It's too silent all alone
Atrocious screaming is the only way to keep me calm
Your death was determined it was my plan all along
This menacing laughter is music to my ears
Awakened by the bloodlust after slumbering for years
I can feed this hunger by extracting all your fears
My carnival of suffering shall rejuvenate their cheers

I am the Ringmaster
This is my affair
Assemble into darkness
Sink into despair

Existence isn't a laughing matter
Unless you're pulling the strings
I'll play my part in this madness
And let my hell unleash

Torture is so heavenly it
Brings me satisfaction
The pawns I have collected
Are dissected with precision
A guaranteed pleasure
For everyone to witness
Your family and friends are the pawns who auditioned

Come on over to the party made for you to enjoy
The sour taste of Solitude
Plenty people here alone for you to join
The ultimate fortitude

Family and friends won't answer when you call them
It's of importance to tradition
Cameras live it's now time to start the ritual
The pawns are here to stay
Family and friends won't answer when you call them
It's of importance to tradition
Cameras live it's now time to start the ritual
