Scaretale

Nightwish · Imaginaerum [2011]

Once upon a time in a daymare

Dying to meet you, little child, enter enter this sideshow



Time for bed the cradle still rocks

13 chimes on a dead man's clock,

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock



The bride will lure you, cook you, eat you

Your dear innocence boiled to feed the evil in need of fear



Burning farms and squealing pigs

A pool of snakes to swim with, oh sweet poison

Bite me bite me



"Ladies and gentlemen

Be heartlessly welcome!

To Cirque De Morgue

And what a show we have for you tonight!"



Restless souls will put on their dancing shoes

Mindless ghouls with lot of limbs to lose

Illusionists, contortionist,

Tightrope - walkers tightening the noose



Horde of spiders, closet tentacles

Laughing harpies with their talons ripping,

Sher-chrisss, per-vizzz



The pendulum still sways for you

Such are the darks here to show you, child in a corner,

Fallen mirrors, all kingdom in cinders
