Carnies (with Clockwork Angels String Ensemble) |
Under the gaze of the eight elms |
A spectacle like you’ve never seen: |
Spinning lights and faces |
Demon music and gypsy queens! |
The glint of iron wheels! |
The bodies spin in a clockwork dance! |
Oh, the smell of flint and steel! |
A wheel of fate, a game of chance! |
How I pray just to get away |
To carry me anywhere |
Sometimes the angels punish us |
By answering our prayers |
By answering our prayers… |
The face of naked evil |
Turns a young boy’s blood to ice; |
(Indistinguishable) |
Such a dangerous device |
The glint of iron wheels! |
The bodies spin in a clockwork dance! |
Oh, the smell of flint and steel! |
A wheel of fate, a game of chance! |
Oh, shout toward the crowd; |
Laughed elation ringing loud! |
(Indistinguishable) marks in the hands of the innocent |
The angry crowd moves towards him with malintent |
How I pray just to get away |
To carry me anywhere |
Sometimes the angels punish us |
By answering our prayers |
By answering our prayers… |
The glint of iron wheels! |
The bodies spin in a clockwork dance! |
Oh, the smell of flint and steel! |
A wheel of fate, a game of chance! |
