Lyrics

[00:02.65] the carnival is over
[00:07.80] dead can dance
[00:14.20] Into The Labyrinth
[00:20.34]
[00:26.04] brought to you by McSilence
[00:28.91]
[01:17.17] outside
[01:21.97] the storm clouds gathering,
[01:29.93] moved silently along the dusty boulevard.
[01:42.72] where flowers turning crane their fragile necks
[01:55.64] so they can in turn
[01:58.69] reach up and kiss the sky.
[02:07.12] they are driven by a strange desire
[02:15.15]
[02:20.26] unseen by the human eye
[02:28.64] someone is calling.
[02:37.74] i remember when you held my hand
[02:46.97] in the park we would play when the circus came to town.
[02:58.94] look! over here.
[03:07.52]
[03:26.05] outside
[03:27.20] the circus gathering
[03:29.26] moved silently along the rainswept boulevard.
[03:38.73] the procession moved on the shouting is over
[03:42.08] the fabulous freaks are leaving town.
[03:50.36] they are driven by a strange desire
[04:01.24]
[04:03.46] unseen by the human eye
[04:11.51] someone is calling.
[04:24.02]
[04:37.50] the carnival is over.
[04:55.45] we sat and watched
[05:01.42] as the moon rose
[05:08.92]
[05:12.02] for the very first time
[05:16.00]
