The Purgatory March
(Written as a song)
{Speaking:}
Welcome, welcome, one and all
Ladies and gents, I beseech you
Enter this tent and see an event
That is certainly one to recall
{Singing:}
Ringmaster, ringmaster
Maybe it’s the moon
(Perhaps the sound of the choir)
The binds were just found ripped to shreds
And the razor-wire in pieces
They’ve long been gone, keep holding on
There’s only one way they’ll be found
(Dead!)
{Speaking:}
Attention my good and patient people
I beg pardon for your wait
I have just been told news
That does much less than facilitate
Our center ring show…{fades}
{Singing:}
Ecstasy across your face
Viewing the procession of immoral immortality
Draw you in with the sharpest familiarity
Join the ranks, little one, and celebrate iniquity!
Pour the blood,
Get drunk in the pain
It’s never enough
Perhaps we’re all insane
Heaven won’t take us
And hell’s afraid
Left to march the middle-ground
Until our souls degrade
Acquaint yourself to the life of sinners
Leave you former walk behind
Remember to be on your guard
They come for us any and every time
The only way to carry on
Is with a constant state of mind
Here the deadly seven
Are the seven to which we are most prone
See the banner, smell the decadence?
This is now your home
Pour the blood,
Get drunk in the pain
It’s never enough
Perhaps we’re all insane
Heaven won’t take us
And hell’s afraid
Left to march the middle-ground
Until our souls degrade
You can take my mind and take my life
You can put me in shackles and bind me tight
Beat me beat me 'til there is no fight
But you'll never take my heart
I knew this would hurt from the start
Every scream, every fear
Every pool of blood, every river of tears
You'll never take my heart
It's time for me to play my part
You'll never take my heart
Even when I rip my insides all apart
'Cause I knew this would hurt from the start
Pour the blood
(Take my mind and take my life)
Get drunk in the pain
(Put me in shackles, bind me tight)
It's never enough
('Til there is no fight)
Heaven won't take us
(You'll never even take my heart)
And hell's afraid
(I knew this would hurt from the start)
Left to march the middle-ground
(Through every scream and every fear)
Until our very souls degrade!
(Every pool of blood and river of tears)
(You'll never even take my heart
It's time for me to play my part
Never ever take my heart
I'll rip my insides all apart
You'll never even take my heart
I knew this would hurt from the start
It's time for me to play my part)
