Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Calliope croaks Rust on the notes Paper-thin moon Hangs like a joke [Verse 1] Boots on the gravel Names in the stone You lace your fingers Through every bone Marble-eyed angels Lean in to stare You kiss my knuckles Like you don't care [Pre-Chorus] Grin like a jester Lipstick smeared red Spinning on headstones Dancing with the dead [Chorus] Round and round this graveyard carousel Laughing at the gates of hell You pull me close We ride the edge of fright Waltzing through the tombs at midnight If this is doom Then ring the bell I found my heaven in your hell Hand in hand where all the wild things fell On our graveyard carousel [Verse 2] Your skirt catches cobwebs Tangled in lace You steal a black rose From a cracked vase Violin shivers Thin as a sigh You hum a lullaby Teach it to die [Pre-Chorus] You trace the letters On someone’s cross “Promise you'll dance For me if I’m lost” [Chorus] Round and round this graveyard carousel Laughing at the gates of hell You pull me close We ride the edge of fright Waltzing through the tombs at midnight If this is doom Then ring the bell I found my heaven in your hell Hand in hand where all the wild things fell On our graveyard carousel [Bridge] [Music drops to haunted circus waltz Violin and organ leading] Spin me faster Spin me thin Paint my face Like porcelain If the world ends Let it end here Teeth in your smile Grave dirt in your tears (yeah) [Chorus] Round and round this graveyard carousel Laughing at the gates of hell You pull me close We ride the edge of fright Waltzing through the tombs at midnight If this is doom Then ring the bell I found my heaven in your hell Hand in hand where all the wild things fell On our graveyard carousel

Verses stay tense with palm-muted riffs, eerie circus organ, and solo violin weaving folk motifs; chorus explodes into widescreen symphonic goth with choirs, crushed cymbals, and soaring top-line.
