Under watchful eyes, I writhe and wither; Every flower wilts eventually. In a hollowed contralto I'll sing Brokenly A fractured hymn falling well on deaf ears. The curtains draw over hungry onlookers But the show must go on! So the madcap laughs as he leads the dance, This graceful waltz of suspense Finally I Keel over from shortness of breath. My last line of defence Shall be devoured till the last morsel.

The Madcap Laughs
Under watchful eyes, I writhe and wither; Every flower wilts eventually. In a hollowed contralto I'll sing Brokenly A fractured hymn falling well on deaf ears. The curtains draw over hungry onlookers But the show must go on! So the madcap laughs as he leads the dance, This graceful waltz of suspense Finally I Keel over from shortness of breath. My last line of defence Shall be devoured till the last morsel.
