Circus of the Damned

Ladies and gentlemen,
Boys and girls,
Children of all ages…
You are about to witness the most spectacular show on earth
Hold your children’s hands
Squeeze your girlfriends shoulders tight
And peer into a world of altered reality
Of ghoulish delights and bitter sweet dreams…

Come one, come all; step on in!
A good time for everyone’s about to begin
You watch the woman walk high on wire
And wait while we set the net on fire
You’ll be sad to see our circus end,
But it doesn’t have to stop here my friend.
We wouldn’t like to be thought to deceive
But once you join, you never leave.
You may go anywhere you’d like and more…
Except that final dressing room door.
In there, the biggest draw resides
The girl of many faces hides
With rows of masks up on shelves.
So many, she’s never seen herself.
One moment she’s an angel who protects,
A vicious self-preserver at the next.
But alas her true face she’s yet to see,
It’s faded in her memory.
And she, and we, aren’t even sure
If she even has one anymore.
But it dosen’t matter if its a face not worth showing
As long as her masks keep the business flowing.
You’ll learn all sorts of fine things first-hand
In the clever circus of the damned.
But do not look at us aghast,
Now that you know our tenants’ past.
It shouldn’t matter if you know
The face-girl’s misery and woe.
Because now, with everything you know,
We can never, ever let you go.
So now you finally understand
The morbid circus of the damned.

Welcome to the Circus
Enjoy your stay…
