Carnival Carnage -5

[Intro] (Dissonant carnival music warped and slowed, distorted laughter morphing into choked screams, heavy distorted bass drone fades in) [Verse 1] The big top rises, canvas bleeds the setting sun A welcome refuge? The nightmare's just begun Smiles painted wide, but the eyes are hollow, black Ragged velvet suits, needles stashed in every crack They shuffle through the crowd, a ghastly, twitching parade Whispers of the fix their only accolade The ringmaster's grin, a rictus etched in greed Knows the price demanded for the clowns' foul need [Chorus] Carnival Carnage! Underneath the tainted lights! Giggles turn to shrieks on b***d-soaked circus nights! Razor-sharp confetti! Hooked on screams they crave! S*******r for the serum! Digging your own grave! Junkie jesters hungry! Pay the clown's dark toll! Body parts for payment! Claiming every soul! [Verse 2] The trapeze artist plummets, snapped by unseen hands The strongman's pulverized where the freakshow stands A rusty hook emerges from a cotton candy stall Dragging off a child, silencing the brawl The bearded lady watches, tears of tar run down As Pennywise's cousins tear up this cursed town They rifle through the pockets, find no coin, no prize Just empty veins demanding fresh, horrific highs [Chorus] Carnival Carnage! Underneath the tainted lights! Giggles turn to shrieks on b***d-soaked circus nights! Razor-sharp confetti! Hooked on screams they crave! S*******r for the serum! Digging your own grave! Junkie jesters hungry! Pay the clown's dark toll! Body parts for payment! Claiming every soul! [Bridge] The calliope wheezes a discordant, dying tune Reflected in the puddles: a harvest moon The sawdust drinks it deep, the crimson sticky flood Their "medicine" distilled from terror, tears, and b***d The contract signed in madness, bound by circus law Human suffering the only drug they ever saw No laughter left, just hunger, a bottomless abyss Fueled by the final twitch, the dying, gasping hiss [Instrumental Break] (Chaotic, grinding guitars mimicking carnival melodies, frantic blast beats, sudden tempo shifts into crushing sludge riffs, deranged laughter samples) [Verse 3] The crowd is thinning fast, just stains upon the ground The clowns convulse and twitch, a frantic hunting sound They sniff the cooling air, for any lingering life To end with rusty k***e or blunt, bone-shattering strife The carousel spins wildly, horses cracked and blind Carrying broken figures of the left-behind The main tent flaps are closing on this gory scene Packed for the next town, fueled by death obscene [Chorus] Carnival Carnage! Underneath the tainted lights! Giggles turn to shrieks on b***d-soaked circus nights! Razor-sharp confetti! Hooked on screams they crave! S*******r for the serum! Digging your own grave! Junkie jesters hungry! Pay the clown's dark toll! Body parts for payment! Claiming every soul! [Outro] (Distorted, fading circus waltz becomes increasingly warped and dissonant, heavy bass drone returns, choked gurgling sounds and a final, wet, crunching noise, then silence)
