[VERSE 1]
Ancient sands beneath a blood-red sky
A laugh that echoes, sharp and high
He wears his motley, frayed and stained
Sheut-Ren-Ka – secrets rearranged
From tombs of kings where curses sleep
He crept to drag the world too deep
Whisper lies in every ear
"Your soul for power – let me steer..."
[PRE-CHORUS]
The tents go up in mist and screams
Where tortured souls dance in their dreams
Spinning fast on broken wheels
No escape from how it feels...
[CHORUS - Crushing riffs, bass thundering like a crowd's roar]
Sheut-Ren-Ka! The giggling jester!
Clown of cruelty – Egypt's monster!
Carnival of dark dreams calling out your name!
For thousands of years he's played the game –
Twist your heart, make evil real,
Trade your soul for what you feel!
[VERSE 2]
Faces twisted in the carnival glow
Each one sold their way below
He pulls the strings of war and greed
Planting seeds of bitter need
Pharaohs fell to his sharp grin
Kings and paupers – all give in
His bells ring out through time and space
Erasing every trace of grace...
[PRE-CHORUS]
The tents go up in mist and screams
Where tortured souls dance in their dreams
Spinning fast on broken wheels
No escape from how it feels...
[CHORUS - Crushing riffs, bass thundering like a crowd's roar]
Sheut-Ren-Ka! The giggling jester!
Clown of cruelty – Egypt's monster!
Carnival of dark dreams calling out your name!
For thousands of years he's played the game –
Twist your heart, make evil real,
Trade your soul for what you feel!
[BRIDGE - Slow, sludgy guitar, vocals low and menacing]
Listen close... can you hear him laugh?
In your thoughts, in your darkest path
Every sin you've ever known
He stitched it there – flesh and bone
The carnival never closes down
In the ground where lost souls drown...
[SOLO - Guitar wails and screeches like tormented cries, then builds to a frantic frenzy]
[FINAL CHORUS - Even heavier, with gang vocals on the title]
SHEUT-REN-KA! The giggling jester!
Clown of cruelty – Egypt's monster!
Carnival of dark dreams calling out your name!
For thousands of years he's played the game –
Twist your heart, make evil real,
TRADE YOUR SOUL FOR WHAT YOU FEEL!
