Circus of Souls

(Intro: Dark Samba)

(Heavy, ominous bass-driven surdo drum rhythm. Distorted, high-pitched, carnival brass instruments blaring a minor key tune.) "¡Atención, atención!"

"¡Bienvenidos al circo del miedo!"

Hahaha

(Verse 1: Latin Trap / Aggressive Rap)

(Slowed down slightly for the trap feel, heavy brass hits on the off-beat, trap hats)¡Levántate!

Speak out, break the glass!

Mira las painted faces as they pass

Immigrants are humans,

yeah, that’s the fact

Respect is the fuel,

don't you ever look back

Check the history, check the blood in the dirt

Who defines the land?

Who defines the hurt?

From the coast to the plains,

we’re all in the ring

But no one’s the master,

and no one’s the king!

(Ad-lib:) ¡Qué locura!

(Pre-Chorus: Drum & Bass Acceleration)(Tempo jumps to 174 BPM, rapid-fire samba drums, massive sub-bass)

Ripping the mask off

the hollowed-out show

Everyone’s human,

nowhere to go!

Ripping the mask off

the hollowed-out show

¡Fuego!

(Chorus: Carnival Electro-Pop / DnB)

(Soaring, emotional synths mixed with harsh, distorted brass, high-energy dancing beat)

Oh, the carnival’s burning,

it used to be grand

The land of the free,

now we’re sinking in sand

We used to dance where the brave ones led

Now we’re counting the ghosts

of the things that were said

Bring back the light to this hollowed-out space

A circus of souls

in a desperate race!

(Verse 2: Latin Drum & Bass / Glitch)

(Heavy percussion focus, choppy vocals)

Shield the Black,

Shield the Brown,

(Screams)

STOP! THE! RIDE!

Justice is the rain, nowhere to hide!

Just ‘cause your face is white as a sheet

Don't mean you’re the star of this crumbling street

Privilege is a mask, rip it off, let it go

Every soul’s got a right

to be part of the show

In the city, in the town, in the neon glare

Everyone is human—life isn’t a dare!

(Ad-lib:) ¡Baila!

(Chorus: Maximum Energy Carnival Electro)(Maximum volume, euphoric but dark synth melody, frantic drum & bass rhythm)

Oh, the carnival’s burning,

it used to be grand

The land of the free,

now we’re sinking in sand

We used to dance where the brave ones led

Now we’re counting the ghosts

of the things that were said

Bring back the light to this hollowed-out space

A circus of souls

in a desperate race!

(Bridge: Atmospheric Latin Trap / Slowdown)(All drums cut out except for a slow, heavy heartbeat-like bass drum. Haunting carnival music box melody)

Say a prayer for the broken,

the ones in the cage

The clowns are in charge,

and they’re fueled by the rage

No more families torn,

no more tears on the floor

We’re shutting the gates,

we can’t take any more

We can be better...

(Whispered) If we just stop the act.

(Drop: Carnival Electro-DnB / Chaos)

(Sudden blast of speed. Screeching, distorted circus organs, heavy 808 subs, rapid-fire Latin percussion breakdown)

(Outro: Fading, Glitched Vocals)

Everyone is human...

(Glitch/Pitch shift) ¡Humanos!

(Glitch) The circus is over...

(Single, low, dark piano note)

(Deep barker voice) "Vámonos."
