If you don't mind we
Would like a take moment
To invite you to an ongoing performance
In a hall of tragedies
To watch the Circus of the Dead
Feel the spotlight fading
We can't do this alone
Need an audience
So we can play out our roles
Got a front row seat that's so close
It's like you're part of the show

There's a place in the dark
Horror stories go to hide
Buried deep underground
Pain and torment mechanized
Whoa
On a lit up stage
Whoa
Terror's on display

There's a place in the dark
Horror stories go to hide
Buried deep underground
Pain and torment mechanized
Whoa
On a lit up stage
Terror's on display

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

Hit the lights we're going
Till there's no pulse left
This masquerade of souls
Needs a victim
Won't you be our hopeless guest?
But if it helps you can pretend
It's make believe inside your head
This nightmare's as real as it gets
In this Circus of the
In this Circus of the
In this Circus of the Dead

Good you go here just in time
You better hurry
It's our show but you're the star
Destined for glory
Here performing death defying acts
That we can't wait to see
Body count high as the tight rope
Will you make it?
Zero safety nets
The tension is electric
Tonight you're the one
That jumps through hoops
We're going off the script

There's a place in the dark
Horror stories go to hide
Buried deep underground
Pain and torment mechanized
Whoa
On a lit up stage
Whoa
Terror's on display

There's a place in the dark
Horror stories go to hide
Buried deep underground
Pain and torment mechanized
Whoa
On a lit up stage
Terror's on display

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

Hit the lights we're going
Till there's no pulse left
This masquerade of souls
Needs a victim
Won't you be out hopeless guest?
But if it helps you can pretend
It's make believe inside your head
This nightmare's a real as it gets
In this Circus of the
In this Circus of the
In this Circus of the Dead

It's where fear comes to life
Know you never stood a chance
As you gasp for breath
Here on the stage
You can run
You can hide
Feel the cold steel on your hands
Crawling to your death
There's no escape
It's a spectacle that drags you
Down six feet below
So you should have stayed
And just enjoyed some time at home
Encore!
Now the ringmaster comes for you
It's the grand finale
It'll all be over soon
In this Circus of the
In this Circus of the
In this Circus of the
In this Circus of the
In this Circus of the
In the Circus of
Pretend
It's make believe inside your head
This nightmare's as real as it gets
In this Circus of the
In this Circus of the
In this Circus of the Dead
