Midnight Parade of Broken Mirrors

I fell into the midnight fair

Where the broken lanterns glow

Past a line of crooked shadows

And the faces I don't know

Mirror shots were spinning

Casting silver on my skin

Every step a little bolder

As the nightmare let me in

Hear the calliope screaming from the rusted ferris wheel

I laughed at every phantom like I had nothing left to feel

We're marching through the moonlit parade of ghosts

With shattered reflections and a heart that won't post

I walked through the field like a fire in the rain

Beating out the darkness, dancing wild through the pain

Moonlight on my collar

Thunder in my veins

I'm fearless in the carnival

I'm singing with the strange

A painted king of ashes took his crown and opened wide

Showed me all the lost ones riding side by side

Windows in the funhouse flashed a dozen lives I knew

Every haunted face was mine, every curse I made it through

The drummers in the distance hit a heavy voodoo beat

And the whole dead circus shook beneath my feet

We're marching to the moonlit parade of ghosts

With shattered affections and a heart that won't boast

I walk through the field like a pyre in the rain

Spitting out the darkness, dancing wild through the pain

Moonlight on my collar

Thunder in my veins

I'm fearless in the carnival

I'm singing with the strange

It shouts in the alley, wild and ragged as the night

Hearing voices rising in a halo of black light

If a mirror tries to haunt me, I just grin and let it crack

I was born inside the thunder and I'm never looking back

We're marching to the moonlit parade of ghosts

With shattered reflections and a heart that won't post

I walk through the fear like a fire in the rain

Spitting out the darkness, dancing wild through the pain

With moonlight on my collar

Thunder in my veins

I'm fearless in the carnival

I'm singing with the strange

We're marching through the moonlit parade of ghosts

And I'm alive in the afterglow

Where the broken spirits coast
