"Here in the Grand Guignol we lounge amongst decay
An orchestra of ghosts exhale their serenades
Of Byronic darkness, O Such horrors to appraise!
The balcony's reserved for guests from the grave

Mark of the Plague
Escape the Devil's Maze
Grand Guignol Cabaret

Avoid the Master's gaze
Black bones grasp the stake
Her ash will black the stage
Grand Guignol Cabaret

Lead: "A Boutonnière of Viscera" by #PatrickBruss
Lead: "No Refunds" by Justin Lascelle of #AXESLASHER

Dead puppets rotting on a stage
Their spectral vapours howl & play
The audience left in disgust
A curtain call for #CRYPTICUS

A Grand Guignol Cabaret!

You're all invited to attend
The Grand Guignol Cabaret"
