THE GREATEST SHOW

Roll up; roll up, to the greatest show on earth,
A magical mystery tour of feelings,
Step this way, take a seat,
Close your eyes, feel the warmth,
The edge of steel against your skin,
Stroking the artery across your wrist,
Relax, embrace the fear,
Blade caressing the jugular, hair standing,
Are you scared?
You should be, for I am Death!
A nervous laugh I hear,
Warmth of the liquid, flowing over the skin,
Cold sweat breaking free,
Fear rising, arteries emptying,
The coldness replacing warmth,
Slumping into a stupor, falling into darkness.
Roll up; Roll Up, to the greatest show on earth.
