Mouth of Madness - Circus Maximus

Desolate man, parted from the world

«Nobody sees me, and I’m not even a nobody…»

But in his mind, in his thoughts, he is sure

That this is not how he is meant to be He wanders the streets, with a near empty bottle of wind in his hand

He is cold from the rain and wind

The last red sip keeps him warm

«I am on my own, with no direction of home…

A complete unknown…»

That very night he had an eerie dream,

That would tell that things are not what it seems

Death has reared himself a throne

In a strange city lying alone

Far down within the dim West

Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best

Had they gone to their eternal rest?

He awakes in awe, as a man in front of him

The man explains of why and when

The new order of ages will rise again

Ultimate sacrifice demands great pain

No longer all alone, yet gone from the real world

«Mere puppets are they!

As they will obey us they know, the 6, the invincible

woe!

We consist of the most influential souls of this world, soon our order starts

its dwell

To infiltrate into life, and let mankind through Hell!»

Liberate tu te me ex inferis

Behind the curtains laid an all too dark secret

The highly evolved, ascended masters controlled the destiny of mortal man

Advanced technology ploughed their path

Intelligent entities who only knew wrath

A stab in the back, a Judas kiss

In ignorance they obey

Marching unnoticed into land and nation

Without a moment’s hesitation

A shattering assault was drawing nearer

Yet the final result was not here

One last dance all too unethical and wild

«Shed the blood of an innocent child»

For him this would be too big a burden

He resists, and refuse

In denial, he awakes…

Wait, something isn’t right

A familiar face appears

In the distance, a white padden room

And needles in his flesh

«This can’t be!

Where have I been?»

«I'm not alone!»

«You've been here all along

Glad you’ve come around

Thought we had lost you there for a moment

Welcome back!»

Ultimate sacrifice demands great pain

No longer all alone yet gone from the real world

Something wasn’t right, nothing we could do

«Still I’m gone from the real world»
