lyrics

“Dorian, the clown” appeared every Sunday of the month in a humble circus of the low streets of Paris. A bit sad looked his face but a lot of laughs filled the place with his presence.
The money was meager, but the only thing that Dorian could do was making the people laughing with his inner pain.
The common history in the family of the circus was orphanage, loneliness, addictions… But, about the clown it was known just that he read, he read a lot; he read some black books without any inscription on its covering, and some of them had words of deep pain and darkness. The last one that Dorian was seen reading was entitled “Ophelia”. Another unknown book of those that he read, called as the lady who fell into madness.

In the first show of April Dorian never appeared. Nobody knew where seeking for him, his house was that circus. Did he have an accident? Not. It couldn’t be possible… Some people in the family of the circus believed have heard his cries; even they said have seen him. What? A ghost? The quantity of superstitions of the workers there was very high and the rumor about the ghost of Dorian was taking power.

Dorian never went to work anymore…

One day the bleat man was found dead. His face was painted as a clown and his stomach was wide open. That looked like a bad joke, unfortunately it was real. The next Sunday and acrobat woman was brutally killed, she appeared hit through all the body by something like an axe, and with her face painted as a clown.

Nobody wanted this shit anymore, nobody worked in that circus nevermore.

Some days after the dead body of Dorian was found hung in an abandoned house. The forensic said that he died before the attacks in the circus.
