Come one! Come all!
To the Carnival of Fools!
Come look! Come Look!
A delectable hook
Horror and pain
For those who played the game
Here we have Wrath
Envy is in his path
Sloth and then Greed
But they're not in the lead!
Lust, and there's Pride
Gluttony's here for the ride.
But here's the best
A girl much like the rest.
Pretty and pert
With a knack to hurt
Looks down on others
Her sisters and her brothers
Yep she's hot stuff
Cuz she knows she's good enough
She's the very best
Cuz she's prettier than the rest
Until she met a man
Who had another plan
Now, she's here
Her face laced with fear
Beaten and and heavily bruised
She's been thoroughly used
Her cage is her lies
See the guilt in her eyes?
She's done this to herself
She put her soul on a shelf
Is she stuck here forever?
Will she complete her endeavor?
It's all up to her
Perhaps when Satan's not the chauffeur.
