"Scaretale" 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
Thirteen 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
Illusionists, 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
