歌词
A plague of rumor spreading on a freezing autumn night
The carnival is coming into town
The howl of wheels on rails like a banshee's cry
But the dawn transforms it to a siren's song
How long will it stay?
Will we see everything?
The train brings promises, pleasures of the past
By the pricking of my thumbs
The smell of cotton candy and the laughter of the crowd
But sickly sweet with a hint of decay
All the faces grin a little bit too wide
And everybody seems to know my name
Why are the shadows
Darker than before
If we're willing to compromise the principles we have
We'll find our deepest desires
It's clear the carnival has no plans to depart
We're giving it everything it needs
Once we bend a little, it will demand the rest
Imprisoned by our avarice and greed
It is up to us
To break this curse
One way or another if we're to get through this
We'll leave our childhood behind
