gods come play
The circus is open tonight
The tent welcome to all
Gods come play
The dice are yours to roll
For luck is on your side
Hide your cards
Show your strengths
And flaunt your smarts
Twist your lips into danger
As you pick your vice
Watch them fall at your hands
Because oh they should know
That immortals don’t play nice
Stack coins on aces
And faltering poker faces
Bid on your kings and queens
As they hand you the crown
Of dripping jewelled gold
Snap the wings of fallen angels
When they're no longer aether's child
And once the gamble is sold
Flip the jesters and golden numbers
Break their pride and loose all that is told
Read your future and change your past
Burn it perhaps, watch it crumble to ash
The circus is open tonight.
Borrow the stars and
Lend the skies
Bend the rules and
Crack what’s set in stone
For you would know
No prophecy comes alone
There are prices to pay
And rewards to receive
Shower your victory with lightning
Let the flash ignite your eyes
Rewrite the legends
Turn the myths true
And twist what they knew
Bleed your lies into theirs
Turn truths into smoke
Change the colours of reality
And the sound of ecstasy
Flip through hoops of blazing red
And curling claws
Let the fire dance across your skin
And laugh when your blood runs gold
For you are untouchable
Eternal
Hearts indestructible
So you should know by now
That the tent is welcome to all
Throw down your folded loss
Trade your constellations
Bargain infinite time
For their finite little lives
Let your boundless power
Flow through your veins
Thrumming
Because oh everlasting beings
Of the heavens above
The circus is open tonight
The tent welcome to all
So I invite you,
Everlasting stars
And timeless bodies
To set perfection upon your heads
In this forgotten paradise
And watch them bow
To the rulers of the clouds
And the keepers of the storms
Gods, come play.
