**[Intro – whispered, ominous]**
Step right up, don’t be shy
Chaos wears a velvet tie
Cross your heart, now hope to cry
'Cause the beast don’t die—it multiplies…
**[Verse 1 – rap flow with southern drawl]**
Came from the sticks where the shadows breathe,
Barbed wire soul and a mouth full of grief,
Wolves in the bleachers, grinnin’ their teeth,
Welcome to the show—no escape, no relief.
Mud on my boots, blood in the flask,
Preacher man sayin’ “boy, unmask”
But I’m the ringleader, no need to ask—
Painted my pain in a red, gold mask.
**[Chorus – heavy, chanted with gang vocals]**
WELCOME TO THE CIRCUS!
Where saints wear chains and the wicked scratch sermons
SPOTLIGHT ON THE FREAK SHOW!
You break your own chains just to feed the inferno
**[Verse 2 – nu metal bounce with rhythmic growl]**
I talk in tongues with a venomous grin,
Rattle that cage where the madness begins
You want truth? Then step in the ring—
'Cause even angels here are clipping their wings.
Drip-fed lies through a stained-glass screen,
We baptize scars in kerosene
Crucify fear in a guillotine
But still we laugh—this stage obscene.
**[Chorus – heavy, chanted with gang vocals]**
WELCOME TO THE CIRCUS!
Where saints wear chains and the wicked scratch sermons
SPOTLIGHT ON THE FREAK SHOW!
You break your own chains just to feed the inferno
**[Bridge – slow breakdown, whispered growl to scream]**
The tent’s on fire…
But nobody’s running.
The clowns are crying…
But the crowd keeps coming.
**[Chorus – heavy, chanted with gang vocals]**
WELCOME TO THE CIRCUS!
Where saints wear chains and the wicked scratch sermons
SPOTLIGHT ON THE FREAK SHOW!
You break your own chains just to feed the inferno
**[Bridge – slow breakdown, whispered growl to scream]**
The tent’s on fire…
But nobody’s running.
The clowns are crying…
But the crowd keeps coming.
**[Chorus – final repeat, layered vocals, chaotic instrumentation]**
WELCOME TO THE CIRCUS!
Where grace gets drowned in the devil’s own verses
CALL IT A FUNERAL!
But we dress it in glitter and crown it eternal
