lyrics

When the music started, all the children woke
From dreams of amusement parks reeking of the dead
Into the darkness they each wandered forth
Drawn to the flashing glow and warbling organ grinder

Out by the old burned mill they found the carnival
A dazzling exhibition built upon the ash and ruins
And standing underneath that pulsing entranceway
The gaunt and waving body of an otherworldly carnie

Welcome all, said the organ grinder
Please take a ticket and come, step inside
Don’t be afraid, said the organ grinder
This festival was made for you all

When they entered, all the children ran
To explore this strange and magical ghostly fair
Spinning cups, bumper cars and rocking pirate ships
Laughing clowns on carousels, pendulums and Ferris wheels

But in the center a towering roller coaster
The metal behemoth flickering with light
In fear they stared at its drops and twists and turns
It’s blood red track wending through the starless night

Beware you all, said the organ grinder
This ride’s certainly not for the weak
Come take a seat and ride the Organ Grinder
For this festival runs for you all
Hold on to your guts

In fright they all careened through the air
Their cart jerking wildly on its track
Incessant spiraling, torqueing madness
Accelerating on their tortuous path

Their blood began to pool as they corkscrewed
Flailing limbs undulated with each drop
Guts collide with bone as they’re ground
To a pulp

When the ride was over, all the townsfolk woke
From nightmares of amusement parks imprisoning their kids
Into the darkness they each ran in a panic
Drawn to the dying screams and laughing organ grinder

In awe and fear they found the spectral carnival
A bloodied exhibition strewn in bone and ichor
And smiling in the midst of that appalling carnage
The demonic figure of the undead carnie

Welcome all, said the organ grinder
I’ve been expecting each of you to come
Your kids are mine now, said the organ grinder
For this festival was made for them all

See my rides, said the organ grinder
Built from the wails and flesh of all who dare to visit
Mind the mess, said the organ grinder
For my festival feeds and was made from them all
