📜 LYRICS:
Step right up, see what's behind
These walls built from the dreams I've mined
Each ticket sold, each gasping face
Fills coffers as they fall from grace
The freaks and oddities they see
Are merely pawns in my grand scheme
While I conduct this grand parade
Of fortunes being made
Welcome to my empire of lies
Where dreams are sold before your eyes
Every gasp and every stare
Builds the fortune that I dare
Never mind the souls I break
Watch the millions that I make
For the greatest show on Earth
Demands its pound of worth
These circus lights hide darker things
As I pull all my puppet strings
Each performer's pain and shame
Builds monuments to Barnum's name
The upper class may scoff and sneer
But they'll pay gold to feed their fear
Of becoming what they see
In my menagerie
A million dreams?
They're worth their weight in gold
When selling hope to young and old
Let them think they're part of this
While I count my avarice
Every soul has its price
In this world of gilt and vice
This is my empire of lies
Built on hopes I've monetised
Every tear and every scar
Builds the legend that we are
Watch them dance upon my stage
Like birds within a gilded cage
For the greatest show must thrive
No matter who survives
The show must go on, they say
As I lead them all astray
The greatest lie they'll ever know
Is thinking this was just a show
