BUMP IN THE DARK I heard the Soundless Sounds from Shadows I walked in sunless halls Where ancient winds call Emptiness glanced through infinite windows Every road leads to Zero Unknown untold Threshold Look upon the door inside your mind There within the ever shapeless night Dark devoid world is our true stage Here alone we sing, dance, kill, and play LA LA LA LA LA LA LA Secrecy, Vastness, and surreal Solitude Tread in Dark avenues Where Lightless Depths seclude Betwixt the stars, dwelling in Empty Spaces Transfixed between all thoughts Are eyes without a face Look upon the door inside your mind There within the ever shapeless night Dark devoid world is our true stage Here alone we sing, dance, kill, and play “That which is eternal lies; with strange aeons death may die…” There… here… Sing, dance, kill, play

~Big Top~ Burlesque Blitz Bizarre! Welcome here, fun is mixed with fear Beyond black curtains, wondrous and the weird Know the unknown, hear the clattering bones See the unseen sights yet to be hear shown Creepy crawly, we’re quite naughty Hiding things within this tent Frozen smiles, seen for miles Piercing eyes of ill intent Beneath the graves, and beyond the hills Dance the once dead creatures which can’t lie still Broken dolls silently laugh As mindless cracked clowns turn all your smiles to frowns Cirque Noir, Cirque Noir, oh… Cirque Noir, Cirque Noir, oh… Ohhhh… Downward descend spiraling stairs Where within shadowed minds, glaring one eye stares Mesmerized, let thy earthly eyes Wither, shiver and die with their tears and lies Puppets dancing, night entrancing White hands pulling their own strings Dolls are singing, ears are ringing Shadows causing eyes to cringe Porcelain white, living eyes inside Seeing past the light, darkness brings true sight See the cracks in the pretty doll’s face Gazing past the shell, silent dark embrace Cirque Noir, Cirque Noir, oh… Ohhhh… NOIR! NOIR! NOIR! Windows painted all black, mirrors unmasked Walk beyond within, ending begin Burlesque Blitz Bizarre…CIRQUE NOIR!

Suspension 04:24
Suspension We're small and creepy We hang from a tree Descending upon all humanity You're getting sleepy From eyes that you see Ascending into such strange mysteries [chorus]: Our dead eyes fixed on nothing So sightless, we see all things We cannot tell, only show We're walking this lonely road Suspended like leaves We sway in the breeze Dolls dance in the wind of lost memories Unseen faces freed By sinister deeds We rise from decay, seize all destiny [chorus] Now behold our devil's grin Empty under cold white skin We're walking through every wall We're rising up as you fall! One leafless Tree It sees, it breathes Twisting within, shedding our skin Dead leaves falling From the dark earth, to the pale sky In death we rise Lifeless our gaze, self-actualized Ways of the the wise Wiping the dust from our doll eyes Blindness here dies... [chorus]

The Green Hour The hour draws near Ever now and here Of swirling depths opaque Ceaselessly partake Limits now forsake Eternity’s gate Wheat fields of crows bestow Sower and the Sown Paint the stars We weave the green dream Far yet near Night skies are revealed That which you create We can thus un-make Infernal carousel Spinning our mad spell Sipping from the well Of sweet emerald Hell Bu-veh la verre d’ absinthe Paint worlds we haunt See translucently Secret alchemy La Tremblement De Terre The abyss stares Nowhere everywhere Never more aware We dance the devil’s waltz Dissolving the false Paint the stars We weave the green dream Far yet near Night skies are revealed Now fighting this - wallpaper Weird wobbling walls - they fall We are fighting to the death One of us has got to go! And then we dreamed - that we died Ate supper with - the DEAD! Life and soul of the party Madness and grotesquely With closed eyed now strangely seeing All delights and sights misleading Timeless canvas under all Now possessed - By worlds without walls Time will end In this green hour Time will bend …… oohhhhhh What is real can be undone Paint the stars Paint the stars Paint the stars We weave the green dream Night Revealed!!!

Que Sera 04:45
Que Sera Ticking clocks with turning gears Drafting seconds passing years Their mad game of lost minutes Finite masks the infinite Between our breaths lies the depths Ceaselessly retrace our own steps Seen within the winding way Timelessness unveiled Que Sera Sera Sera Sera Sera Time moves on We stand still Through dark hallways we ever seek What winds of time can never reach Within chambers that they forgot And our strange dark light flickers not Trapped by clock hands ever spinning In a world that’s ever turning Beyond this maze, we found a place Stillness never sways Que Sera Sera Sera Sera Sera Here the many become one Past pale moons burn untold suns Traveling between the stars Unmasking who we all are Seeing though this reflection Beyond within our direction Now transcending dimensions In the Depths - Time is undone Two to One One to None We're undone Que Sera Sera Sera Sera Sera

Pastiche 04:40
-Pastiche- Dark mystic masquerade Infernal cabaret Dark mystic masquerade Beyond each painted face Dwells shining unseen haunted Space See writings on the wall We read between them all These memories and tales of old Unfolding wordless words we know [chorus]: Come a little closer We're composers from afar Decomposing songs bizarre Beneath the stars with Cirque Noir! Here turn the Dead Man's Key Create reality As planets become suns We see we are the dust of stars We're merging shades of Night Discover hidden sights Mythology and mysteries Revealing that the myth is real [chorus] Voices call We'll wake the Sleeper Through cracks crawl Delving ever deeper We'll raise the Depths And break through all walls As your charade crumbles and all falls And we will gather dust Then add the rain With breath and flame Bring forth what once was slain It lies in wait To recreate... Gazing into the Abyss Inwardly we reminisce Coils unwind within my mind I am That enshrined It's sight is mine

Sleepless Space Close your eyes and wonder Feel no fear in slumber Dolls and toys in silence Lifeless friends sit quiet Formless night surrounds you Tangled webs we undo Rest in peace, my darlings In the dark we're dwelling Sunlight waning, thoughts are fading Porcelain surface, hides our essence Call upon your creature Conjure forth your Nature So let go, and unlearn Unknown depths, now return For we see and we hear That which you truly fear Such growling Emptiness Silence and nothingness Sunlight waning, thoughts are fading Porcelain surface, hides our essence Our eyes closing, true sight showing... This false landscape Of forms and shapes Illusory permanency Night's creeping hands Will still the sands Peel back the paint Without restraint Now come with us Past the surface To the canvas Grasp the vastness Secondlessness Fathomlessness Be That which Is... Ever endless

about

CIRQUE NOIR Ventura, California

In the spirit of elegant eccentricity, sadistic strangeness, quintessential quirkiness, genre-blending/genre-bending ingenuity, fanatical iconoclasm, darkly inclined silliness (and a light sprinkle of pre-meditated pretentiousness), the maniacal musical cavalcade known as CIRQUE NOIR have maliciously and deliciously manifested a brand of circus laced rock! ... more
