Where innocence and shadows collide
A haunting dance where secrets hide
Children laugh as dreams are sold
In the grip of capitalism hearts turn cold
With every spin the darkness clings
In this carousel of fate where sorrow stings
Children and capitalism reflections in the dark
Spinning on a ride where innocence leaves its mark
They twist and slither like shadows in the night
Demanding all they crave with no regard for right
Oh they careen they jolt they break
In a world where dreams are devoured for the take
One's kept caged a life held in chains
While the other runs wild feeding on our pains
Caught in a web that feeds on fear and fate
In this carousel of shadows make no mistake
Shattering more than they build leaving ashes in their wake
Burdened with despair it's a heavy price to stake
They lull you to slumber while plotting in the gloom
Then shake you with chaos sealing hearts in doom
Oh they careen they jolt they break
In a world where dreams are devoured for the take
One's kept caged a life held in chains
While the other runs wild feeding on our pains
Caught in a web that feeds on fear and fate
In this carousel of shadows make no mistake
One's kept caged a life held in chains
While the other runs wild feeding on our pains
Deep in the jungle where hopes go to die
Chasing hollow dreams beneath a blood-red sky
Oh they careen they jolt they break
In a world where dreams are devoured for the take.
One's kept caged a life held in chains
While the other runs wild feeding on our pains
Caught in a web that feeds on fear and fate
In this carousel of shadows make no mistake
In this carousel of shadows we lose our way
Through twisted paths where night swallows day
Yet in the heart of the storm we must awake
To reclaim our dreams before they're lost in the wake
