[Part I:

a rare month for boys
When life is simple, pure and
And the youth can overlook
The wolf outside the

And one October not long
Jim Nightshade and Will
Would never be quite so anymore

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

And Jim and Will
To ride the
Could set their afire
Could send them to Hell

[Part II:

Far away, but too close for comfort
calliope is playing
Halloway sits in the darkened
Thinking dark
Son at home he doesn't really
years seems so very old
Throws the ad in the fire
Flames higher

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

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

What's the purpose of a life of
What you know certainly can hurt you
Every step he he second-guessed
Life of

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

III: The Carnival]

Late night the boys returned
Watched the spin 'round
old man into young
Bringing to town

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

Jim and stumble in
To whirling world of sin
Forward spins the
Cooger ages, and goes to hell

Mister Dark at once
That the boys seen too much
As call for the police
He and the wait
For their plan to be

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

The ruse has worked, no one the
Tales of what the boys have
The witch locks they fear her most;
She wishes 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 them down to hell

The boys seen too much
And now their will be their silence
The freaks have 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 the town's old library
by arcane and evil books
Scouring them for any of knowledge.
Charles, Jim and

A father's son who know his dad
Suddenly he that he had
As he that this old lonely man
Could be they the only hope have

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

They feast the sins and fears of men
Promise you just what you and then
they're through they'll steal your very soul
Entomb you in their

And as the church bell
They hear the door
The boys for their lives
As Dark arrives

VI: Temptations]

To a second chance
To the wrongs
To live

Man to old to his son

He turns the offer
Not willing to his soul
For he wants the most

And tells the to give the man
A taste of precious

[Part Confrontations]

(Halloway) ten closer to death
(Somehow) the courage to laugh
(Laughter) searing in the witch's
(Laughter) burning her soul
(Standing), knowing he's her back
(Smiling), the time is now
(Striding) purposefully into the
(Knowing) that he can save them
(Mister Dark) the boys into the streets
(Will to be) made a toy for freaks
(Nightshade) to be his partner for
(After the) over tonight
(Carnival): one last to see
(Shoot the witch): gypsy who die
(Mister Dark) gazes out over the for a
(Volunteer): to give it a try

(Halloway) calls out from in the crowd
(Mister Dark) believe his eyes
(Halloway) his hand picks up the gun
(To steady it) he for the help of his son

[Part Departures]

Far away, trapped in the mirror
The town calls his name
And awakes the spell
The dust witch placed upon his

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

Mister Dark stares at the
He yet under stand
The meaning of what Charles has
So he the game proceed

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

The gun and the
Witch this and now is dead!

Holds him and feels his hatred
And with grave
Lets his fill with love
for his and his son
And returns the boy's hate with this and it

And he withers and

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

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