Speaking words of fear and loathing
The more I learn the less I know
Vanishing through eyes of reason
Trailing the great and secret show
(Chorus)
Carnival of souls
Open up the shutters, let the people in
Carnival of souls
Whiplash ringmaster, wash away their sin
Masks of demons wildly swinging
Maelstrom masters beaten low
Spinning lights and sweet caresses
Reaping dreams from those who sow
(Chorus)
Ringmaster tips his hat and smiles
Leaves the town where faith revives
(Chorus)
