[m/l van

I: Arrivals]

October's a month for boys
When life is simple, and sweet
And the foolish youth can
The outside the door

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

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

And Jim and conspire
To the carousel
Could set their afire
Could send them to Hell

[Part II:

Far away, but too close for comfort
Carnival's calliope is
sits in the darkened library
Thinking dark
Son at he doesn't really know
Fifty-four years seems so old
the carnival's ad in the fire
Flames grow

Long midnight, children awake
Journeys them, chances to take
Run the streets to the carnival grounds
Hoping to ride the

AM is midnight for the soul
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 know certainly can you
Every step he he second-guessed
Life of

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

[Part The Carnival]

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

Carousel turns and
Years can scorch and time can
accomplice, age reversed
Now becomes a boy

Jim and stumble in
To this world of sin
Forward the carousel
Cooger ages, dies and goes to

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

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

The ruse has worked, no one the
Tales of what the boys have
The witch eyes; they fear her most;
She them a "short sad life for both!"

[Part IV:

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

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

V: The Autumn People]

Late that night inside the town's old
Circled by arcane and evil
them for any hint of knowledge.
Charles, Jim and

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

The Carnival has been many times
Its history is found between the
by every forty years or so
Since than two hundred years ago

feast upon the sins and fears of men
Promise you just what you want and
When they're they'll steal your very soul
Entomb you in sideshow

And as the church rings
They hear the opening
The boys hide for lives
As Dark arrives

[Part VI:

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

No

No more as a
Man to old to his son

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

Mister
Charles' hand
And tells the to give the man
A of precious death

(old man) your breathing
(old man) your hurt
(old man) See you're
(old man) your heart

VII: Confrontations]

(Halloway) ten lifetimes closer to
(Somehow) finding the courage to
(Laughter) in the witch's face
(Laughter) burning her wicked
(Standing), knowing he's her back
(Smiling), knowing the is now
(Striding) purposefully into the
(Knowing) he can save them somehow
(Mister Dark) leads the into the streets
(Will to be) into a toy for freaks
(Nightshade) to be his partner for
(After the) over tonight
(Carnival): one attraction to see
(Shoot the witch): gypsy who die
(Mister Dark) gazes out the crowd for a
(Volunteer): someone to it a try

(Halloway) out from deep in the crowd
(Mister Dark) cannot his eyes
(Halloway) his hand picks up the gun
(To it) he calls for the help of his son

VIII: Departures]

Far away, in the mirror maze
The whole calls his name
And Will awakes the
The dust witch placed his head

father and son
as one
As Mister Dark them the bullet and
Charles carves into a crescent

Mister Dark at the bullet
He doesn't yet stand
The of what Charles has done
So he the game proceed

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

The gun and the
Witch knows and now is dead!

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

rises from
The of shattered mirrors
He up his son and runs with him
Across the carnival

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

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

Charles the boy up
Holds him close and his hatred
And with grave
Lets his heart with love
for his and his son
And the boy's hate with this love and it
through
Dark's young
And he and dies

As the tents disappears
The three of spring
back to town
Two boys and one man
No longer so old as he thought

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