BLACK CARNIVAL

Intro – distorted whisper] Step right up… The lights are dead… The machine is breathing… And it wants your heart… [Verse 1] Broken mirrors watching back Stitched-up faces in the dark Cotton candy gasoline Dead kids smiling in the spark Neon laughter on the walls Greasepaint bleeding through the hall The ringmaster with no jaw “Welcome… welcome to it all…” [Pre-Chorus] Spin the wheel Break the skin Something waking Deep within [Chorus] BLACK CARNIVAL REACTOR Laugh while it eats your brain Neon poison in your veins Feel the engine in your chest Pull the lever Lose control This machine Wants your soul BLACK CARNIVAL REACTOR [Verse 2] Ferris wheel without the ground Dead-eyed dolls begin to sound Razor rain across the stage No one here can leave the cage Calliope beneath the floor Playing codes you heard before Shadows changing skin and name When the mind begins to break [Pre-Chorus] Iron lungs Flesh and wire Mechanical gods Feeding the fire [Chorus] BLACK CARNIVAL REACTOR Laugh while it eats your brain Neon poison in your veins Feel the engine in your chest Pull the lever Lose control This machine Wants your soul BLACK CARNIVAL REACTOR [Bridge – glitch voices] The lights flicker… The bodies shake… That’s not music… That’s the machine… learning your name… [Breakdown – industrial stomp] CLANK — BOOM CLANK — BOOM Grinding fear into the gears Carousel drinks all your years CLANK — BOOM CLANK — BOOM The engine beats like a brain [Final Chorus] BLACK CARNIVAL REACTOR Blood and neon in the game Scream louder feed the flame Now the machine wears your face No escape No control Only gears And your soul BLACK CARNIVAL REACTOR [Outro – whisper] The show is over… But the engine… is still thinking… about you…
