lyrics

In the Past
Here we set the stage, another time & place
A little mystery and war across the sea

Come upon the scene is Madame de la Vie
Running from her past. A carnival outcast

Wanderers and Players
Soldiers and Saviors
Monsters and Outcasts
Stories in the past

There’s other players still. Their names are on the bill
Each and every one has something to outrun

James has gone to war. It shook him to the core
He’s quite the hero now. He’s done his family proud

Wanderers and Players
Soldiers and Saviors
Monsters and Outcasts
Stories in the past

The curtains rise again to show off someone’s sin
A warning to you all of how far we can fall

Rosie’s charm ensures the carnival’s allure
It’s just a little curse it could be so much worse

Wanderers and Players
Soldiers and Saviors
Monsters and Outcasts
Stories in the past

There’s something in the dark it lurks within the heart
It haunts our little play. There’s really no escape

A man without a name, a Persian of some fame
There’s nothing he can’t do. His price could ruin you
