Lyrics
[Start of song]
[Intro, Callout]
Step into the tent,
Ladies and Gents,
where sadness meets the eye,
Underneath the big top,
tears are left to dry.
[Verse 1]
Step right up into the show,
Watch the tears begin to flow.
Round and round the carousel,
It's a circus, can't you tell?
[Chorus]
Sad souls crying,
Echoes dying.
(Round and round),
Clowns are sighing.
Sad souls crying,
Echoes dying.
(Round and round),
Pain's defying.
[Verse 2]
Painted faces, smiles so fake,
In the shadows, hearts that break.
Glitter falls on shattered dreams,
In this circus, silent screams.
[Chorus]
Sad souls crying,
Echoes dying.
(Round and round),
Clowns are sighing.
Sad souls crying,
Echoes dying.
(Round and round),
Pain's defying.

[Hook]
Lonely laughter fills the night,
Twisted joy, what a sight.
Lonely laughter fills the night,
Darkness hides within the light.
[Mosh Call]
[Screaming, Callout] This is where the shadows dance!

[Breakdown Hook]
Heavy beats, the rhythm breaks,
Every heart, it now aches.
Chugging riffs, drums pounding hard,
In this circus, we drop our guard.
[Bridge]
Underneath the mask, we cry,
Beneath the lights, we wonder why.
Underneath the mask, we cry,
Hiding tears we can't deny.
[Growling](Whoa-ooooOOOOooh)
[Chorus]
Sad souls crying,
Echoes dying.
(Round and round),
Clowns are sighing.
Sad souls crying,
Echoes dying.
(Round and round),
Pain's defying.
[Outro, Callout]
Step out of the tent,
boys and girls,
where sadness lingers still,
Leaving behind the chaos,
the haunting circus thrill.
