A blood-spattered curse on our land

Please cast your eye over this map, sir

This business is quite out of hand
15
The circus of death is approaching
16
Its pathway is painted in red
17
Before it the frightened and helpless
18
Behind it a trail of the dead

The narcotic that forges their union

Is a substance known only to one

To the clown it is known as dominion
22
It's a secret that he'll give to none

The drug which gives the clown power
24
Means the circus can never be stopped
25
And his dream can go on unhindered
26
'Til the last human being has dropped
27
Spare me and my family
28
I've done you no wrong
29
Go away, please let us be
30
I've known you for too long
