All Rise
The circus is in town.
A cry unheard.
Justice please.
All rise !
A dark emperor scowls.
Ripped from cosy chamber
To hang this wretched soul.
All rise!
Baying hounds thirst for blood
Fate preordained, they have to wait,
All rise!
Caring not, Black cap donned
he casts the wretched soul to Hell
No backward glance
Void of all compassion,
The sluggard tslithers off-
brandy bound
The sinister circus leaves town
All rise!

Very nice! I think the repeated phrase "all rise" works very well. A nice social commentary. -I think there is even enough dark sarcasm for it to work well as a 'heavy' song lyric, he he he.
