The 6th song of Nightwish’s “Imaginaerum”, the song takes the fun memories, lullabies and tales children mostly experience like bedside stories, fairytales, circuses and turns them into dark, twisted fantasies. Truly a haunting piece that fits the theme of the album perfectly.
[Intro]
Ring-a-ring-a-roses
A pocket full of posies
Atishoo, atishoo
We all fall down
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time in a daymare
Dying to meet you, little child
Enter enter this sideshow
Time for bed the cradle still rocks
13 chimes on a dead man's clock
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
[Verse 2]
The bride will lure you, cook you, eat you
Your dear innocence boiled to feed the evil in need of fear
Burning farms and squealing pigs
A pool of snakes to swim with, oh sweet poison
Bite me, bite me
[Bridge]
Ladies and gentlemen!
Be heartlessly welcome!
To Cirque De Morgue!
And what a show we have for you tonight!
[Verse 3]
Restless souls will put on their dancing shoes
Mindless ghouls with lot of limbs to lose
Illusionists, contortionists
Tightrope walkers tightening the noose
[Verse 4]
Horde of spiders, closet tentacles
Laughing harpies with their talons ripping
Sher-chrisss, per-vizzz
The pendulum still sways for you
Such are the darks here to show you, child in a corner
Fallen mirrors, all kingdom in cinders
