Tristania - Circus Lyrics
Tied up and gaggedHooded and taggedThey're all yours to commandI am corpse, I am carrion preyI have a crow at each browplucking eyes in my mask of deathThe darkness is completeWho's the hooded one, mother mine?Who is gagged when all are silent?and bitten when we moveInflamed! My mask is burningThe night is dead; dark, putrid flesh turningpon a chair in the dying cornerI am your bagful of fearIll commit, Ill admitIll be the dagger, drive me inIll be all motionless and stillMy river runs within - still and deepI am beast, I am carrion prey to the Cyclops tribeString me up to a cherry treecome one, come all - and hang with meI'm already hogtied - entangled in your marionette stringsI am dancingthe embodiment of feara shake for every fearful teara ruckus for the righteousIn the endThey no longer knowcast stones into mirrors - onto themselvesMother mine!Stab yourself, mother minebleed your own river, dark and wideMine runs within, still and deepDont shake me so, it will overflow
