[m/l van

[Part I:

October's a rare for boys
When life is simple, pure and
And the foolish youth can
The wolf outside the

Come hear a tale of
And one not long past
Jim and Will Halloway
never be quite so young anymore

Fury, the seller of rods, foretells the coming storm
The light's on in the library, beneath the sky
Charles Halloway sits deep inside, surrounded by his
A serious, and sad old man whose youth has passed him by

And Jim and conspire
To ride the
set their souls afire
Could send straight to Hell

II: Torments]

Far away, but much too for comfort
Carnival's is playing
Halloway in the darkened library
dark thoughts
Son at home he doesn't really
Fifty-four seems so very old
the carnival's ad in the fire
Flames higher

Long after midnight, awake
Journeys await them, chances to
Run through the streets to the grounds
to ride the merry-go-round

Three AM is midnight for the
Never is a man so close to
The house of is at hand
Souls are

the purpose of a life of virtue?
What you don't certainly can hurt you
Every step he made he
of regret

Ride's out of order, no around
Hardly a whisper, hardly a
Thinking they're alone, but they're not
Gloved hands encircle, now they are

[Part III: The

Late that night the boys
Watched the spin 'round
Turning old man into
darkness to town

Carousel and turns
Years can scorch and time can
Dark's accomplice, age
Now becomes a boy

Jim and stumble in
To this whirling of sin
spins the carousel
Cooger ages, dies and to hell

Mister Dark at once
That the boys have seen too
As they for the police
He and the witch
For plan to be unleashed

Boys with the law
Try to tell them what saw
The witch throws her and the old, dead man
to come to life again

The has worked, no one believes the
of what the boys have seen
The witch locks eyes; they her most;
She wishes them a "short sad for both!"

[Part IV:

Late that night the witch takes to the sky above the
Searching for the boys who the secret of the carousel
A black parade of freaks, and led by Mister Dark,
Scours every street for the to drag them down to hell

The boys have too much
And now their death be their silence
The have caskets fashioned for the little boys who hid
And Mister Dark halts the procession, the librarian,
He asks him who the boys are; fills with as the old man lies

[Part V: The Autumn

Late night inside the town's old library
by arcane and evil books
Scouring for any hint of knowledge.
Charles, Jim and

A father's son who doesn't his dad
Suddenly he that he had
As he sees this old lonely man
Could be they the hope they have

The has been here many times
Its history is found the lines
Comes by every forty or so
more than two hundred years ago

They feast upon the and fears of men
Promise you just you want and then
When they're through they'll steal your soul
Entomb you in their

And as the church rings
They hear the door
The boys for their lives
As Mister Dark

[Part VI:

Tearing at his
To take a chance
To right the
To live

No

No living as a
Man to old to his son

He turns the down
Not to exchange his soul
For he wants the most

Mister
Crushes hand
And tells the witch to the man
A taste of precious

(old man) Hear breathing
(old man) your hurt
(old man) See bleeding
(old man) Stop heart

[Part VII:

(Halloway) ten closer to death
(Somehow) finding the to laugh
(Laughter) searing in the face
(Laughter) burning her wicked
(Standing), knowing beaten her back
(Smiling), the time is now
(Striding) purposefully the street
(Knowing) that he can them somehow
(Mister Dark) leads the boys into the
(Will to be) made into a toy for
(Nightshade) to be his for life
(After the) carnival's over
(Carnival): one attraction to see
(Shoot the witch): who cannot die
(Mister Dark) out over the crowd for a
(Volunteer): to give it a try

(Halloway) out from deep in the crowd
(Mister Dark) cannot believe his
(Halloway) his good picks up the gun
(To steady it) he calls for the of his son

[Part VIII:

Far away, trapped in the maze
The whole town calls his
And Will the spell
The dust placed upon his head

Halloway: and son
as one
As Dark gives them the bullet and
Charles into a crescent moon

Mister Dark stares at the
He yet under stand
The of what Charles has done
So he let's the game

But the he carved isn't a moon at all
It's his the bullet carries
And this totem finds way
To the heart

The gun and the
Witch this and now is dead!

Chaos spreads, and and Will
Run to the to rescue Jim
walks in
Confronted by of a million ancient men
Staring back and him older
A full of regrets
A man who never his son
A man whose deeds were done

Halloway from
The hall of shattered
He picks up his son and with him
Across the carnival

Nightshade still the carousel
Charles and help him down
Another boy appears
Dark's gone
And the four of us give chase

Halloway looks at the young boy
He him for what he is
Mister Dark made younger by the
of the carousel

Charles the boy up
Holds him close and his hatred
And with determination
Lets his fill with love
for his and his son
And returns the hate with this love and it
courses
young body
And he withers and

As the carnival disappears
The three of spring
laughing to town
Two boys and one man
No quite so old as he thought

Far away but too close for comfort
Far but much too close for comfort
