Something Wicked

a plague of rumor spreading on a freezing autumn night
The carnival is coming into town
The howl of wheels on rails like a banshee's cry
but the dawn transforms it to a siren's song
How long will it stay?
Will we see everything?
The train brings promises, pleasures of the past
By the pricking of my thumbs
The smell of cotton candy and the laughter of the crowd
But sickly sweet with a hint of decay
All the faces grin a little bit too wide
And everybody seems to know my name
Why are the shadows
Darker than before
If we're willing to compromise the principles we have
We'll find our deepest desires
It's clear the carnival has no plans to depart
We're giving it everything it needs
Once we bend a little, it will demand the rest
Imprisoned by our avarice and greed
It is up to us
To break this curse
One way or another if we're to get through this
We'll leave our childhood behind

Sapphire

They came to us in holy robes
Sapphire as the sky
They told us that their gods would keep us safe
Don't question the means
The price will be paid by enemies
We struck a deal, they bared a knife
An altar made of stone
What cost a little blood for peace of mind?
The lives of our enemies
Were an offering to appease the gods
The outsiders bled, our walls were strong
But then they turned their eye
Started finding enemies within
Insatiable were the gods
But we willfully let them through the gate
Sapphire robes won't hide the stains
But that was never their intent
