The Circus 04:38
THE CIRCUS Ladies and gentlemen behold Welcome to the show Here lie the wonders of the world Form a single row If you're feeling really brave and bold Let your mind blow Mysteries are waiting to unfold Welcome to the show Have you seen the boy with lobster hands? Step into the tent Have you ever seen the human skeleton? Step into the tent Have you ever seen the camel girl? Step into the tent Have you seen the lion faced man? Step in for the show The show, the show, the show... Hey how howdy how... The circus is tonight in town for just a day you 'll be happy as a clown but don't forget nothing comes in life for free there is always a fee A fee, a fee, a fee... Oh y oh Welcome to the show Pay attention for you'll hear the singing of the crow Oh y oh Welcome to the show You can watch but never touch the feathers that aglow Oh y oh Welcome to the show when the bird begins to sing the devilry will flow Oh y oh Welcome to the show as your master walks among you black feathers will grow The circus is tonight in town for just a day you 'll be happy as a clown but don't forget nothing comes in life for free there is always a fee

SLOW TRAINS ARE NEVER LATE Over the hill, soon will arrive last train for the town tonight Rope to the left, gun to the right take a breath and everything is fine Onward to the locomotive Onward with a soul emotive Onward to the dark train smoke Live for the anticipation Live for the agitation Live for the ending of the joke Gold in the coach, food on the floor something here is very wrong Empty the cab, no one around something else is watching all along Music of souls resting Music of heartbeat cresting Music for those to depart Onward to the last desire Onward to the pit of fire Onward to fuel the daemon’s heart Over the hill, soon will arrive last train for the town tonight Over the hill, soon will arrive hell awaits an offering tonight Over the hill, soon will arrive slow train for the town tonight Over the hill, soon will arrive slow train for the gates of hell tonight

Cardinal Sin 04:24
CARDINAL SIN The lord giveth the lord taketh away, anyway The saints and sinners the ones in between, never win The lord's servant the lord's chosen one, will be done For he has to for he has to sin and give in I stand here alone and weary in the house of God I have played my part for Him I say Holy water on my fingers to clean up the blood then I pray Then I pray for new prey...

The Town 04:28
THE TOWN Hidden in the hills of the far and wild west there's a town no one calls by its name Nothing seems to bother the good folks of said town but the devil lies in details Houses are all even and the people living there never ever leave their home at night Chimneys are all there but you'll never see the smoke since no fireplace has wood to burn And the nights seem all darker even if you have your eyes closed every shadow leans to swallow even if you have your fingers crossed There's a time every year, when the moon and stars align that the pastor rings a single bell And the lantern by the well, in the center of the town burns a fire from the depths of hell And then the mist / rises from the well / filled with waters / drawn from river Styx / And then the dead / follow the light / for they will feast / 'til morning comes Searching for the homes, with the sign on the door of the blood that is still warm and from innocence is drawn from a child of their own, who will never see the sun again The poor people of this town, they have lived much past their lives damned to pay this sacrifice, because once upon a time they thought they could outrun and maybe cheat the lord of death himself And there's a time every year, when sun begins to rise that the pastor rings another bell And the kids that never grow, form a line with the dead which they follow to the old damn well But they know that soon enough, when the moon and stars align and the pastor rings a single bell they will march again on earth, to the town they will return and they'll have their parents meet their hell

about

...The hoary oracle spread the cards on the old oak table. "Pick four" she whispered, but her voice sounded deep and felt like touching my innards. I chose. She turned them around. Under the candlelight her face looked broken and scary, but it became otherworldly at the sight of the tarots. "The Circus", "The Train", "The Sin", "The City". A voice as if taken out of the darkness broke the silence: "Snake oil & Lullabies"...
