The Carnival Is Over Lyrics

Cover art for The Carnival Is Over lyrics by Dead Can Dance

It's strange, but I heard this song first in 1994 when the cruelties in Rwanda were at the peak and tenthousands of people were killed every day. I had to stop my car to breathe, so appropriate it was. Storm clouds gathering: Something gloomy going to happen. Driven by a strange desire: The unexplainable drive to kill fellow men. As for the word carnival, we could read carnage. Of course they didn't mean it like this, but personally it will remain connected
