Ring around the rottings Of the burning bodies Ashes, ashes, we all fall down Ring around the masses Smiling through the ashes Fire, fire, we all burn in Hell Ring around the decayed Tiring games that we played Silence, silence, no one is alive Ring around the whispers On all our mouths are zippers Gruesome, gruesome, ways to die Ring around the darkness Which fills all of our hearts Eyes sewed, eyes sewed, eyes sewed shut Ring around the stumbles the trippings and the troubles Crumble, crumble, we're all trapped Ring around the newborn As we are reborn Sightless, hungry, we eat all Ring around the children Hungry once again Eat up, eat up, before they're gone Ring around the parking meters They will never leave here Never, escape, fully alive Ring around the insane For we've eaten their brains Gnawing, gnawing, at last full Ring around the trashings Of the goings and the passings Time is, time is, falling down Ring around the table Not to pray, we're unable Stabbing, ruthless, together now Ring around the fires Smoke goes up in spires Ashes, ashes, more children rain down Ring around the ashes We pull out our secret stashes Flesh of who we used to be Ring around the old flesh Stretching over the rest Children, children, you'll be reborn Ring around the needles To sew the eyes with beetles Stitch, stitch, sew, sew, you're all beautiful Ring around the knives to stab and slash children of all sizes Soon, soon, you'll be like us Ring around their blood Bubbling and hissing into the mud You won't need that anymore Ring around the whispers The reborn all need their mouth zippers Hold still, it won't hurt, see? Now, it's done Ring around the embers We now have more members Of our insane democracy Ring around your street Your house is pretty neat Maybe, if you're lucky, you'll be next Ring around the gallows Hidden in the shadows Tying, tying, you'll choke now Ring around the findings You didn't leave a sign of Struggle, struggle, or bleeding out

Ring Around
Ring around the rottings Of the burning bodies Ashes, ashes, we all fall down Ring around the masses Smiling through the ashes Fire, fire, we all burn in Hell Ring around the decayed Tiring games that we played Silence, silence, no one is alive Ring around the whispers On all our mouths are zippers Gruesome, gruesome, ways to die Ring around the darkness Which fills all of our hearts Eyes sewed, eyes sewed, eyes sewed shut Ring around the stumbles the trippings and the troubles Crumble, crumble, we're all trapped Ring around the newborn As we are reborn Sightless, hungry, we eat all Ring around the children Hungry once again Eat up, eat up, before they're gone Ring around the parking meters They will never leave here Never, escape, fully alive Ring around the insane For we've eaten their brains Gnawing, gnawing, at last full Ring around the trashings Of the goings and the passings Time is, time is, falling down Ring around the table Not to pray, we're unable Stabbing, ruthless, together now Ring around the fires Smoke goes up in spires Ashes, ashes, more children rain down Ring around the ashes We pull out our secret stashes Flesh of who we used to be Ring around the old flesh Stretching over the rest Children, children, you'll be reborn Ring around the needles To sew the eyes with beetles Stitch, stitch, sew, sew, you're all beautiful Ring around the knives to stab and slash children of all sizes Soon, soon, you'll be like us Ring around their blood Bubbling and hissing into the mud You won't need that anymore Ring around the whispers The reborn all need their mouth zippers Hold still, it won't hurt, see? Now, it's done Ring around the embers We now have more members Of our insane democracy Ring around your street Your house is pretty neat Maybe, if you're lucky, you'll be next Ring around the gallows Hidden in the shadows Tying, tying, you'll choke now Ring around the findings You didn't leave a sign of Struggle, struggle, or bleeding out
