"Curtain Call"
Written by Port Sulphur Band
Publication December 10, 1896

We will laugh
We will cry
We will become the lie
Step right up
Fill your cup
Music starts, curtains rise

Run away with me
I'll play the part
Follow me into the dark

Swallow fire
Throwing knives
Try on a new skin
Tame the lion
And pretend
That illusion's not sin

Run away with me
You'll play a part
Follow me into the dark

Evasion, illusion, original sin
The devil came knocking and you let him in
Soon you'll howl
Soon you'll fall
Then it's curtain call
Choose your mask
It's time for the final act
