Mary Goes Round

Imagined as lyrics for a melodic circus metal-type song

Mary Goes Round

(VI)

Her time has come

It’s now or never

No more denying

No more deciding

This fatal endeavor

Will it break her?

Will it remake her?

A shame she can’t just

Live forever

 (VII)

It’s a sign of the times

This blurring of lines

Fly into the light

Or sink into the sound?

The answer should be easy

But how can she live in a world so empty?

How can she think when she’s sold her mind?

How is she living;

Forced into submission?

(Chorus)

Mary goes round and round in her head

Hearing voices

Making choices

Mary goes round and round in her head

She has to stop the voices

They’re making her choices

(VIII)

Shh, stop the tears

We’re here to save you

We’re here to take you down

Down into the sound

Shh, just listen

Don’t try to keep your pace

Step in line and take your place

Nowhere to run

Nowhere to hide

Shh, no worries

We’re right here by your side!

(Chorus)

Mary goes round and round in her head

Hearing voices

Making choices

Mary goes round and round in her head

She has to stop the voices

They’re making her choices

(B)

The answer is so simple

Don’t let them steal your voice

Stop denying

Stop deciding

Only you can make this choice

(Chorus)

Mary goes round and round in her head

Hearing voices

Making choices

Mary goes round and round in her head

She has to stop the voices

They’re making her choices

(VIIII)

Round and round and round and round she goes

She’s trying to stop the voices

She can’t stop the voices

She has to stop voices

Round and round and round and round,…

I love carousels and this just gave it a deeper meaning. I love this. I actually wish I could hear this.
