Dark Carnival

[Verse] Shadowed streets whisper cold secrets Lonely lights flicker then betray Silent screams echo in corners Lost in time we fade away [Verse 2] Velvet curtains hide our bruises Dancing phantoms in disguise Broken mirrors tell our stories Fractured laughs beneath the lies [Chorus] Welcome to the carnival Where darkness reigns and hope hides Step inside the mystery Where tears and joy collide [Verse 3] Violin's cry sings our sorrow Haunting chords cut through the night Skeletal hands play the keys now In this place void of light [Verse 4] Masked figures twirl in a spiral Faded dreams in their gaze Lost souls seeking redemption In this gothic maze [Chorus] Welcome to the carnival Where darkness reigns and hope hides Step inside the mystery Where tears and joy collide
