Lyrics The Bazaar - Painted In Exile

The Bazaar

Welcome one and come all — our show has just begun!
A masquerade, comprised of the shunned of humanity
My fortune’s a faint glimpse into my horrific act
Crowds stare in awe
What a jaw-dropping display
Mental acrobatics that leads their minds astray
Welcome one and all, to the show that’s now your home
The lights go dark and all eyes are fixed on you
Watching the curtains come down, please take your seats
You’re seeing things that you can’t believe
You want to leave, but you have already become a part of the black bazaar
Mothers and fathers scream at the sight of the hollowed out eyes of their young
It’s too late, can’t change your fate
A grotesque attraction you cannot and won’t ever escape
Running for my life from the elephants
The elephants of the black bazaar
Running for my life from the circus lions
I see my death in the hungry beast’s eyes
Watching the curtains come down, please take your seats
You’re seeing things that you can’t believe
You want to leave, but you have already become a part of the black bazaar
Upon the stage, ‘till the end of days
They take your life, but that alone is not enough
Flesh rots away, we’re face to face with death, but he turns away
The sun sets, we’re lifeless
Not a soul is at rest
We are condemned and possessed
There’s no beating heart in this chest
Watching the curtains come down, please take your seats
You’re seeing things that you can’t believe
You want to leave, but you have already become a permanent part of us
We are now lost, our future is bleak
They cut out your tongue and force you to speak
The lies we’ve been fed are the sins we now reap
Welcome one and come all, please take your seats
