The Bazaar - Painted In Exile

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
