In the shadows, where the moonlight fades
The circus sleeps in darkened glades
But as the midnight hour draws near
The clowns arise, filled with fear
Come one, come all, to the haunted show
Where ghosts and demons steal the glow
In the night, they dance and play
In this circus where nightmares stay
Rusty rides creak to life
The ringmaster's voice cuts like a knife
Specters twirl on the carousel
Their hollow eyes a tale to tell
Come one, come all, to the haunted show
Where ghosts and demons steal the glow
In the night, they dance and play
In this circus where nightmares stay
The tents are torn, the lights are dim
But laughter echoes, cold and grim
Beneath the stars, the circus sways
As lost souls perform their wicked plays
In the morning, they disappear
But they'll return when night is near
This circus never leaves your mind
In the dark, it's you they'll find
