The Psycho Circus

Looking up to the sky, I saw horrible faces laughing back with all their heart, laughing back at me,
This was my destiny, my curse, I was to destroy The Psycho Circus, I was supposed to set the world free.

Sword ready in my hand, mask steady on the face, I kicked open the gates and I entered this Crazy Town,
Headless Clowns, five legged lions, talking horses - tonight they were going to end, tonight this hellhole was going down.

No matter how brave I tried to be, no matter how heartless I tried to look, I was realising, it was only sure death to which I was getting near.
Even if I got through everything, I was supposed to die, and this brought back horror, and one thing clouded my once human mind - fear.

I got in the carnival, expecting blood and death around, I got in expecting fire and psychotic violence,
But I died inside when I saw what I saw and heard what I heard, it was the worst of all - everywhere, silence.

I just stood and stared at the empty abyss, I didn't know whom to kill, I didn't know what was to be done,
I thought this was it, I thought I was worried for nothing when out of the nothingness I heard - "For your life, run."

And then the lights came on, and then the music started, and then the Circus came to Life,
This Madhouse was showing it's true colours, and if the world was the Devil, tonight I get to admire his wife.

And as this hellhole tore down upon me, as I began cutting heads off, as their death dawned on them, as their blood began to flow,
I decided I was walking out this freakshow alive and I would kill to survive, I couldn't help but smile when they announced, "Starbearer, Welcome to the Show."

One-legged rope walkers, jokers juggling human heads and lions whipping them marched toward me - all for one purpose,
I looked at my sword, shining in my eyes and I realised this was what I had to do to live - destroy The Psycho Circus.

The Bounty Hunter

Clothed in black, walking alone in the dead of the night, I feel powerful, wicked, I feel anything but fear,
I am The Bounty Hunter and "Vampire", cry, tremble, beg for salvation for and end to your massacre is here.

They tell me you are invincible, well that's about to go away, they tell me you are twisted inside, well that's about to go away,
For me you are nothing but another horrible menace, nothing but another freak, and when this is over you will just be another disgust i slay.

Hear me, Vampire, many have tried and many have failed, but this is different, tonight this blood bath ends, tonight you die,
Hear me, you Blood sucking creature, fear my voice, come down and face me "Dracula", you can't run away, no matter how much you try.

You think you can judge humans, I dare you to try, you think you can reign over, I ask you to think again,
Humanity has lost everything and we aren't perfect but we still are human, we still love, we still wake up to the sun, we still enjoy rain.

Look at yourself, my blood is your antidote, look at yourself, "Count", look at yourself and look at what you have done,
For all this you have only yourself to blame O Vampire, for all this you will pay, tonight for your life you will run.

I have done mistakes I regret, I have errors I can't mend, I have done things for which there is no redemption and yet here I stand,


Wiith my bow in my hand, clothed in black, I feel the power of a human inside me, and I, The Bounty Hunter, promise you - This showdown will be Grand.

The False Prophet

Today, as the sky cried out and the earth bathed in blood, everyone cried out for him to come : The One,

He ascended and people smiled, for he had come - their Prophet, he had come into their nightmares like the Sun.

People began to shout, people began to cry and people rejoiced, they felt like breathing again and living again,

He would take them to their victory, he would make them human again, he would make them forget Pain.

He picked up his gun and began running like a bull on rampage, he began running and everyone embraced Hope,

People realised he was their Haven this time, people realised the enemy were their fall to death and he was their last rope.

So people began running behind him as he cut his way through the enemy, they began running and inside their hearts flied,

Until suddenly The Prophet got shot and never moved again, until suddenly all chances of their win, along with him had died.

His body lay in dust, while they realised their best had failed, his body lay in dust, while for their lives, they began to run,

And as the people became the Resistance, in horror they realised : All along, there was no saviour, there never was The One.

The One Eyed Man

As I entered the town of the Blind, I realised it was true : I, The One Eyed man would be king.

They would do my bidding, they would play to my tunes, I would be the ringmaster, and the town, my Ring.

The air, the people, the women, the power, the rule, all made for me : everything here just felt right.

They were all dead soldiers, buried in sand, rotten, scarred and I was the one Eyed Eagle, this was my Flight.

Soon I would rule the army, soon I would kill the weak, soon I would rule, I would take over the nation,

Soon I would be the one fulfilling their destiny, Soon I would be the one with total domination.

They would shower me with praise, they would celebrate my birth, they would treat me like their son,

And all just because I am blessed and face it people, I am, without a shadow of a doubt, The One.

I finally was going to play this game my way, I finally was going to be the Angel about whom they would sing,

I was going to be God in this godforsaken place, Man, I had to smile; I, the One Eyed Man was going to be King.

The Night had passed

We thought we would die, we thought we wouldn't survive; until someone told us The Night had Passed.

We could breathe again and we could live again; it was the greatest danger we had ever surpassed.

The storm had killed many, the storm had destroyed many, the storm had taken our courage away,

But now it felt like we had won, now it felt like we had earned our right to see the beautiful Day.

We looked at each other and smiled, we looked at each other and hell, some of us* even cried.

We knew deep down inside that we had beat Death today and that it couldn't take us, even though it tried.

Some of us lost everything, some of us lost ourselves and some of us even lost hope in fate,

But we will help them for we had beat all odds, for we had grown from all our feelings of hate.

We slowly came out and saw destruction, we slowly came out and saw the damage amassed,

But we could build it all again for we had Lived when the others died, and finally : The Night had Passed.

(A dedication to all the earthquake and natural disaster victims around the world)

The Magician's Trick

I love watching you wonder, I love watching you awe, I love playing my card : The Magician's Trick.

You think you can figure it out, don't you ? You think you are good at this, you think you are quick.

Be it my coin vanish, be it my cards' jump, be it my fire turning into water, I can see you want to know,

You just see me control you inside, you just see me smile my smile, you, son, just see what I Show.

You just keep seeing because you don't know that I have thought this through, all you can do is nod,

You now know that there is nothing you can do, you now know that I have beat your mind, you know I am God.

Still you want another chance, still you want to see why you didn't get it, still you want to make sure if you aren't sick.

Little do you know that I expected your wonder, little do you know I have played the greatest card : The Magician's Trick.
