lyrics

Enter the circus, only at midnight.
Now it is showtime.
The ringmaster shouts.

Welcome!

Acts!
People exited to watch this amusing show.
People are charmed by this unreal world.

The show must go on

Trance!
Lose your mind and watch the show.
Time has no meaning here.
Temptations!
Performers mesmerize
The crowd with their skills.

The show must go on!

You all seem to enjoy this.
But don't any of you realize?
Your half-wit and vacant smiles,
Your gaze is turned away from the truth.

The show must go on!

Crimes!
Who will bear responsibility?
The spectators only criticize.

I simply survive.
I see only despair.
Survive.
Only despair. Despair.

The show must go on!

Preserved In Torment

Slow, dark and gloomy as if giant mold ate the Earth alive. Great sound, great arrangements, great muscianship. The right amount of everything in every aspect. To my ears in this genre surprisingly colorful record. Great band deserving our attention! yesfan2

Location made it hard for me to be on the tape trading circuit back in the day, so discovering this band in the 80s would have been hard from rural ohio. Glad I got to hear this now! Rivals all the stateside 2nd wave thrashers ! Recommend ! warchrist30

Amazing release from Chilean avant tech thrash masters. With lot of diversity, spanish lyrics and lines of accordion, piano, and clarinet. Dmitry Nevozhay

I'm kicking my own ass for somehow missing this when it released. Expertly arranged death metal with kick drums that could demolish a high-rise. zirtonic
