The Mad Clown's Lament Lyrics


Welcome, my child

To my grand empire

Of light and songs and wonder

Let me be your guide

The circus is long gone

It’s just me on my own

But let’s put on a show

With fire, knives and blood to flow

Trapped inside the great unknown

I can’t keep sane here on my own

Find my relief in your pain

I’ll torture you to please my brain

Murder is my cure

Madness is taking me

Agony delights me

Blood makes me feel pure

You are my next fix

I’ll show you all my tricks

You don’t need to scream

Nobody’s here you’re in a dream

Trapped inside the great unknown

I can’t keep sane here on my own

Find my relief in your pain

I’ll torture you to please my brain

Trapped inside the great unknown

I can’t keep sane here on my own

Find my relief in your pain

I’ll torture you to please my brain

Now you’re with a twisted clown

Laughing while he takes you down

No one’s here to pick you up

And suddenly, you wake up
