I am that voice which guides them, I am that heedless tale
 I am their rhymes their stories, I bring a warning listen well
 Cause behind all those childish phases, a darker purpose waits
 And when our dreams they learn their places

 (Filth) Step light through darkened hallways, (fable) don't tempt what's creeping there 
 (Filth) There's no escaping nightmares, (fable) not when they've become real
 (Filth) No room for nursery rhymes in, (fable) this ageless carnival
 (Filth) Your head become a vessel, (fable) travel the ethereal

 Just listen, their words are so macabre
 Life lesson, what one should and should not fear
 Imagine, punishment so severe

Chorus
 Even progeny can fall to common subreption
x2

 All of a sudden, you've been shut in
 Scream till you're hoarse it will do you no good
 Christ has sold his soul to the wicked
 And now they're coming for yours too

 Inviting, a world beyond the real
 We're hiding the filth behind a veil
 Resurgence of fiction's canopy
 Conceal, the guise of tragedy

Chorus x2

 These are the tales of our time
