[m/l van

I: Arrivals]

October's a month for boys
life is simple, pure and sweet
And the foolish can overlook
The wolf the door

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

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

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

[Part II:

Far away, but much too close for
calliope is playing
Halloway sits in the library
dark thoughts
Son at home he doesn't really
years seems so very old
Throws the carnival's ad in the
Flames higher

Long midnight, children 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 of temptation is at hand
Souls are

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

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

[Part III: The

Late night the boys returned
the carousel spin 'round
Turning old man young
Bringing to town

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

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

Mister knows at once
That the boys have seen too
As they call for the
He and the wait
For their plan to be

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

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

[Part IV:

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

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

V: The Autumn People]

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

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

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

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

And as the church rings
They hear the door
The boys hide for lives
As Mister arrives

VI: Temptations]

Tearing at his
To a second chance
To the wrongs
To live

No

No living as a
Man to old to his son

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

Dark
Crushes Charles'
And the witch to give the man
A taste of death

(old man) Hear breathing
(old man) Feel your
(old man) See bleeding
(old man) Stop your

[Part VII:

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

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

[Part Departures]

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

father and son
as one
As Mister Dark gives the bullet and
Charles into a crescent moon

Mister Dark stares at the
He doesn't yet under
The meaning of what has done
So he let's the proceed

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

The gun and the
Witch this and now is dead!

spreads, and Charles and Will
Run to the to rescue Jim
walks in
Confronted by reflections of a ancient men
Staring back and making him
A lifetime of regrets
A man who knew his son
A man whose were never done

rises from
The hall of mirrors
He picks up his son and runs him
the carnival grounds

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

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

Charles the boy up
him close and feels his hatred
And grave determination
Lets his heart fill love
for his and his son
And returns the hate with this love and it
courses
Dark's body
And he and dies

As the carnival tents
The three of spring
back to town
Two and one middle-aged man
No longer so old as he thought

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