lyrics

Welcome, everybody, to the Bleakshow!
We're dressed to depress; a burlesque peepshow!
We got deviants and creatures like you've never seen
The Box is back open and on the scene...

So what brings you back to the amusement park?
The crowd shambles in from beyond the dark
We draw tight the curtains and light the spark
And let the show begin!

We present to you the latest thrill
So step right up and get your fill

And when you're finished, we can send you the bill
Very much to your chagrin.

Reverie in charred debris! (in this cacophony)
Necromantic songs and antics! (it's elementary)
We break the mold with stories untold... (a gothic fantasy)
Riven and hidden in a world of misery.

We're here to tell you that your life ain't shit!
You're just a pestilence conduit
That rotting shell of flesh is the perfect fit
For that hopeless life you lead.

But it's okay now, don't you fret!
Some folk have got it worse than you'll ever get.

We'll show you darkness you won't ever forget
AS WE SOW THIS SORROWSEED!

Heads turned around on a rollercoaster ride
Blind eyes, no directions or guides
Into the peaceful ground they did collide
Now their bodies dangle calmly.

Nostalgia embalms and preserves
Kills ambitions and soothes the nerves
We all get what we deserve
In this ticking time bomb we call "society."

"Hurry, hurry, kind patrons! Lend an ear, lend a hand, lend any extremities you no longer need! We present to you a never-before-seen peek at the most hideous and spectacular eyesores dwelling in our world today!"

Don't be shy, come dressed as you are!
Whether nude, snappy dressers or brains in a jar
The Bleakshow is here to amuse and berate
Take a look at the freaks; maybe you can relate!

"Naturally, we seek to educate and captivate our captive audience. Come browse our vast selection of mutants, undead and other aberrations that walk amongst us. Oh, I assure you: these creatures are real - you just haven't been looking hard enough!"

Each creature has a theme and a dark melody
We dance like devils and laugh like banshees
The time has come to expose what we must
Now pose for the crowd, for the monsters are us!

Eyes are upon you - no turning back
Don't try to escape and don't be a brat
Anomalies bound by carnival law
And if you stick around, you can catch the opera...

So are you ready for the Bleakshow?
We're all prepped and rarin' to go!
We hope you enjoy our latest collection
Now sit back, relax, and make your selection...
