The song was brighter than a bell
That rang from pages of the tome
So wizard Danny cast a spell.
It grew from nothing to a swell
That bounced between the graveyard stone.
The song was brighter than a bell.
His failure made the death toll knell—
Left friends and family lying prone.
So wizard Danny cast a spell.
From grave dirt came a rancid smell—
Their shadows rising in the gloam.
The song was brighter than a bell.
The townsfolk cast his soul to hell
And cursed the boy to die alone.
So wizard Danny cast a spell.
They're ever lost, the stories tell—
The carnival that has no home.
The song was brighter than a bell,
So wizard Danny cast a spell.
