Listen I’ve got a tale to tell
Of how I came to be
On a cold dark night long ago
On a ship rolling at sea
The ship steamed on through a winter storm
The waves above the sky
She swims aboard and pulls us down
Where it’s darker than the night
As I slip below and colors fade
A stronger hand grabs mine
I’m pulled into a burning sun
so bright that I am blind
I washed ashore on an empty beach
With a dead man by my side
I climbed into Eden’s cove
as he’s swallowed by the tide
I’ve built a life of sticks and stones
of fires and of trees.
The wind my friend, the sand my home
The birds my family
Soaring on the zephyr winds
I’ve never felt so free.
It’s been 20 years, I’m Robinson
And I’m glad that you’ve found me.
It’s been 20 years, I’m Robinson
And I’m glad you’re here with me.

Little boy
Parted from his mother
Called to serve
In the springtime of his years
pulled from home
for the honor of another
its his duty
no more time for tears
He hears the songs that tell the legend
of those whose houses led the fight
tales of fallen men in battle
stories of an Autumn Knight
stories of an Autumn Knight
Growing boy
made stronger through his training
serves his lord
in the summer of his years
at his side
tending horse and sword and armor
earns his name
by conquering his fears
He sings the songs that tell the legend
Of those whose houses led the fight
Tales of victory in battle
soon to be an Autumn Knight
Soon to be an Autumn Knight
Full grown man
standing on the hillside
Bears a sword
In the Autumn of his years
sees his men
as they face the threat of battle
mounts his horse
As the time for conflict nears
Now the songs tell of his legend
(How his) honor and his house have led the fight
Embellished tales of strength in battle
For he is now an Autumn Knight
For he is now an Autumn Knight
Lonely grave
dug shallow in the field
rimed with frost
in the Winter of the Year
No mourning cry
or stone to mark his grave
nothing moves
there’s none to shed a tear
No more songs will tell his legend
(how his) honor and his house have led the fight
there’s no scribe to set the story
of the fallen Autumn Knight
Just another Autumn Knight
So listen well the songs of legend
of those whose houses led the fight
take care to heed the note of warning
in stories of the Autumn Knight
in stories of the Autumn Knight

Welcome, welcome, come one and all!
Come see sights the likes you've never seen before!
It only takes a thought
To get you in the door!
In the darkness we appear
from the shadows of the night
across your field of dreams
you can see our twinkling lights
The music draws you towards us
come and see the show
and all the wondrous pleasures
you never thought you'd know.
The price is but a memory
of something long forgot
Or perhaps a wisp of some idea
or other random thought
Don't worry you'll be so entranced
This thought you will not miss
You will never realize
fate often has a twist
We've got jugglers and acrobats,
Smugglers and thieves
illusionists, contortionists,
acts you won't believe
Fortune tellers, lion tamers
wonders close at hand
You will never want to leave
The Midnight Circus..
Circus of the Damned
Inside this tent perhaps you'll find
a maze of mirrors bright
lit by glowing candles
to show your way this night
reflections staring back at you
of lives you might have lead
showing dreams and nightmares
For every step you tread.
We've got jugglers and acrobats,
Smugglers and thieves
illusionists, contortionists,
acts you won't believe
Fortune tellers, lion tamers
wonders close at hand
You will never want to leave
The Midnight Circus..
Circus of the Damned
Come and find your fortune
the cards may tell your fate
I always draw the Eight of Swords
but it won't carry weight
This is but a lark indeed
or is it something strange
but you'll be too distracted
to ever feel the change.
We've got jugglers and acrobats,
Smugglers and thieves
illusionists, contortionists,
acts you won't believe
Fortune tellers, lion tamers
wonders close at hand
You will never want to leave
The Midnight Circus..
Circus of the Damned

What do we do with the drunken Sailor,
We don’t care since we sailed away
If we make it back to port, We’ll drink another day
If we can’t find salvation, In a bottle or a dram
To Hell with the drunken sailor, we’ll do the best we can.
The captain calls the men to task
On a voyage we are bound
Put your mark upon the list
and have another round
We’re cut-throats and we’re brigands
And men the world forgot
But for another pint of ale
We’ll sign without a thought.
We’re sailing from the port
Wind within our sails
And from the dock and from the shores
We can hear the women wail
Don’t you go they cry
We’ve seen it in our dreams
An awful crack and the murky brack
and the sound of sailors screams
We’re sailing for our fortune
hope within our eyes
But promises of gold
Make us ignore the captains lies
we’re 20 leagues at sea
trapped by oceans swell
will we make it back to shore
Or find our souls in hell
The ship she creaks and shudders
Tossed by Neptune’s wave
With a lurch she rolls on to her side
And sends us to our graves.
As we slip beneath the waves
Men howl and curse and pray
Begging of forgotten gods
to live another day
But the sea cannot be swayed
She claims her victims well
So if you want to drink with us
We’ll see you down in hell!
What do you do with the drunken Sailor,
We don’t care since we sailed away
If we make it back to port,
We’ll drink another day
What do you do with the drunken Sailor
Our story has reached its end
You’ll find us all in Hell
Raise a drink for us my friend.
