Circus Freak

Muahaha dark poetry =)

Traveling beyond the known boundaries

Setting up this tent for fools

The monkeys labor as they dance

But their lies can be the only tools

 

This cirque controlled by the masses and pigs

With the ringmaster in the lead

He sheds some light on all our decays

And tells us what we need

 

“Dance puppets dance!

Parade around like slaves

Dance puppets dance!

And tell me who your master is”

 

Clowns that mock and show us grins

Filled with pain and hope

These masks that hold their silence in

Seems to us a fearless joke

 

Reveal your high wire act

Bend over until you break

The crowd needs more stimulation

To make this whole tent shake

 

“Dance puppets dance!

Parade around like slaves

Dance puppets dance!

And tell me who your master is”

 

He came

We hide

He smiled

We sighed

This act

Has failed

And now

We lie

Waiting

Hoping

Wishing

Wanting

Craving

Lusting

Fearfully

Knowing

He shouts

We cringe

He bares his teeth

And wins

He knows

The truth

And so we cry

Unfortunately

He will never die

 

The ringmaster of this perfect circle

Has finally said his last

But the monkeys still dance around

And do their work half assed

 

But even so he still cries

For everyone to stand down

This cirque is filled from wall to wall

With us the only clowns

 

“Dance puppets dance!

Parade around like slaves

Dance puppets dance!

                                   And tell me who your master is”

I've had to read this about 5 times now XD
I love it, it's wonderful. I can see it played out in my head like a video and hear Voltaire's (the singer) voice narrating.
