If your world has crashed around you
And all your hopes and dreams are gone
If you wish your life was over
But it drags you on and on
Then lock up your heart forever
With all your ruined golds
Throw away the key
Come along with me
To the Carnival of Souls
It's an easy thing to cash in
All your chips and buy a ride
And the kind of life that you lead
Doesn't leave that much behind
When your flames grows dim
With darkness and at last
A lone bell tolls
Listen well to me
That bell tolls For thee
From the Carnival of Souls
But think twice before you enter
Once you're there you can't return
To the world as you know it
And the hardest thing to learn
Is  the heartache and the sorrow
Will stay warm like glowing coals
Yes it's sad but true
They're a part of you
In the Carnival of Souls
Yes it's sad but true
They're forever a part of you
And they will burn you
Like glowing coals
In the Carnival of Souls
