[Verse 1: TryHardNinja]
If you don't mind, we would like to take a moment
To invite you to an ongoing performance
In a hall of tragedies
To watch the circus of the dead
Feel the spotlight fading, we can't do this alone
Need an audience so we can play out our roles
Got a front-row seat that's so close
It's like you're part of the show, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Jordan LaCore, TryHardNinja & Jordan LaCore]
There's a place in the dark, horror stories go to hide
Buried deep underground, pain and torment mechanized
Woah, on a lit-up stage
Woah, terror's on display
There's a place in the dark, horror stories go to hide
Buried deep underground, pain and torment mechanized
Woah, on a lit-up stage
Terror's on display

[Chorus: TryHardNinja & Jordan LaCore, TryHardNinja]
The show must go on
Hit the lights, we're going 'til there's no pulse left
This masquerade of souls needs a victim
Won't you be our hopeless guest?
And if it helps, you can pretend
It's make-believe inside your head
This nightmare's as real as it gets
In the circus of the, in the circus of the
In the circus of the dead
[Verse 2: TryHardNinja]
Good, you got here just in time, you better hurry
It's our show, but you're the star destined for glory
Here performing death-defying acts
That we can't wait to see
Body count high as the tight rope, will you make it?
Zero safety nets, the tension is electric
Tonight, you're the one that jumps through hoops
We're goin' off the script

[Pre-Chorus: Jordan LaCore, TryHardNinja & Jordan LaCore]
There's a place in the dark, horror stories go to hide
Buried deep underground, pain and torment mechanized
Woah, on a lit-up stage
Woah, terror's on display
There's a place in the dark, horror stories go to hide
Buried deep underground, pain and torment mechanized
Woah, on a lit-up stage
Terror's on display

[Chorus: TryHardNinja & Jordan LaCore, TryHardNinja]
The show must go on
Hit the lights, we're going 'til there's no pulse left
This masquerade of souls needs a victim
Won't you be our hopeless guest?
And if it helps, you can pretend
It's make-believe inside your head
This nightmare's as real as it gets
In the circus of the, in the circus of the
In the circus of the dead
[Bridge: TryHardNinja & Jordan LaCore]
It's where fear comes to life
No, you never stood a chance
As you gasp for breath
(Here on the stage)
You can run, you can hide
Feel the cold steel on your hands
Crawling to your death
(There's no escape)
It's a spectacle that drags you down six feet below
So you should have stayed
And just enjoyed some time at home
Encore, now the ringmaster comes for you
It's the grand finale, it'll all be over soon

[Outro: TryHardNinja, Jordan LaCore & TryHardNinja]
In the circus of the, in the circus of the
In the circus of the
In the circus of the, in the circus of the
In the circus of
Pretend
It's make-believe inside your head
This nightmare's as real as it gets
In the circus of the, in the circus of the
In the circus of the dead
