We practice our act
Under the watch of the ringmaster
We prepare for the show
Under the watch of the ringmaster
We rush backstage
Under the watch of the ringmaster
We make a grand entrance
Under the watch of the ringmaster
We put on a spectacular performance
Under the watch of the ringmaster
We fly through the air
Under the watch of the ringmaster
We leap above the crowd
Under the watch of the ringmaster
We clown around
Under the watch of the ringmaster
We jump through fire
Under the watch of the ringmaster
We take a bow
Under the watch of the ringmaster
We direct the audience
Under the watch of the ringmaster
We prepare to set out
Under the watch of the ringmaster
But, while the ringmaster sleeps
We form a plan, a vicious plan, a plan of sheer muting
We gather the equipment and head out into the night
Me and my partner
We slip into the chamber, the chamber of the ringmaster
Quietly, ever so quietly, we come closer and closer
He let me do it, the honor, so I unsheathed the dagger
The dagger that would not only free me and him, but free
Us all, all of the freak show
I raised it high with bloodthirsty eyes and slammed it down
Into the ringmaster's chest
The blood dispersed, the body gasped, but no one could
Hear the ringmaster scream
And we, above all else, were that last things that were
Under the watch of the ringmaster
