lyrics

Come one, come all
Gather around
A spectacle right before your eyes
Behold, you won’t believe what you see
But it might take a lifetime to forget

Grip tightened around your neck
Carnival of souls and empty flesh

Obey and bleed
Choked and deceased

Dance puppet
Dance puppet
Dance puppet
For the Masterminder

Mind the fall into descent
A canopy full of broken dreams
Ringmaster brings a world of pain
Tearing at you, around the seams

Grip tightened around your neck
Carnival of souls and empty flesh

Obey and bleed
Choked and deceased

Dance puppet
Dance puppet
Dance puppet
For the Masterminder

Step right up and bleed

Obey and bleed
Obey and bleed

Step right up and bleed
Step right up
