In the shadow's embrace, where the moon hangs low,
Lies a Carnival of Shadows, a place where the brave go.
Each October it appears, a dark realm, they say,
With wonders and terrors that take your breath away.
Through wrought iron gates, with their menacing design,
You'll enter a world where the eerie and strange intertwine.
Midnight Alley, cobblestone paths 'neath gaslight's glow,
A fog that conceals secrets, where tales ebb and flow.
Tents and stalls beckon, with macabre delights,
Fortune-tellers and masks, under moon's ghostly light.
Exotic cuisine, unsettling and rare,
In the Carnival of Shadows, nothing's quite fair.
The Carousel of the Damned, with skeletal steeds,
Revolving in silence to the organ's dark creeds.
Mournful riders with faces filled with despair,
As they circle endlessly, caught in this nightmare.
The Freakshow Pavilion, where the bizarre reigns,
Contortionists twist, fire-breathers fan the flames.
Deformed creatures defy what nature bestows,
In this tent of horrors, where darkness encloses.
And at the heart of it all, the Crypt of Chaos stands,
A tomb-like structure, where courage demands.
The entrance guarded by gargoyles with fiery eyes,
As you enter, you'll descend where darkness lies.
The Antechamber whispers with secrets untold,
Ancient runes on the walls, mystic riddles unfold.
In the Hall of Mirrors, reflections distort,
Doppelgangers and phantoms in this eerie fort.
The Abyssal Abyss, in inky black despair,
With a crystal ball's glow, the only source of air.
Walking on oblivion's edge, with a heart brave and strong,
Guided by your spirit, pressing forward, not wrong.
The Chamber of Whispers, voices disembodied,
Tales of ancient curses, mysteries embodied.
You tread the path unswerving, your resolve remains,
For the Carnival's secrets, your spirit retains.
So, in the Carnival of Shadows, where dreams and fears meet,
With its heart of Chaos, your courage completes.
Among the eerie and strange, the peculiar and grim,
You've ventured, embraced it, with a fearless heart's hymn.
In this Carnival of Shadows, where the darkness does play,
You've journeyed, explored, and survived through the day.
For in the heart of the eerie, the bizarre, and the strange,
You've found a world where courage can always arrange.
