Flying over twisted concrete

Drifting through the night's blue mist

Standing by the gates of midnight

Rainswept streets that hold death's kiss

 

Torn from dreams, this barren landscape

Mutant saviors roam the night

Flesh and blood and energy

Plagued with guilt, minds numbed with fright

 

The Night Circus has come to town

They want your life and soul

The Night Circus, nowhere to hide

They want to devour you whole

 

Old bad dreams are new bad reality

Old bad dreams are new bad reality

 

I have wandered here while dreaming

Feeling changed when I awoke

Flaming sunsets, barren midnights

Drifting through the blacklight smoke

 

Dead nights carry a strange freedom

Awe inspiring, fill the soul

Search the night for Eldorado

Find instead a gaping hole

 

The Night Circus has come to town

They want your life and soul

The Night Circus, nowhere to hide

They want to devour you whole

 

They're going to devour you whole
