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
