"DEATH TO THE CLOWN"
Artist: CIVIL DEFIANCE
Album: THE FISHERS FOR SOULS

lyrics

As the makeup goes on
It covers up the scars
But they're still
Just beneath the paint
Behind the black tears of his eyes
Inside his mind goes back
To the sounds of children playing
Innocence decaying

Scarred by cruelty of youth
A little boy is crying
Childhood dying
What he feels inside is proof
Pain stares back from the mirror
And his visions getting clear
Behind that painted on smile
Lies a hatred filled frown
Death to the clown
Death to the clown
Death to the clown

(Instrumental break)

Scarred by cruelty of youth
A little boy is crying
Childhood dying
What he feels inside is proof
Pain stares back from the mirror
And his visions getting clear
Behind that painted on smile
Lies a hatred filled frown
Death to the clown
Death to the clown
Death to the clown
Death to the clown
Death to the clown
