lyrics

Here comes a vignette filled with marionettes carrying debts
now I really cant say who was pulling the strings
but what happened on that day was quite obscene
it was a black tie black suit masquerade
birthday party that lasted for days
the whole town came to bask in the little girls fame
cause her life was never quite the same
ever since she killed the beasts
every meal it was a feast
she was never in the least
worried that her life would cease
The wolf had no witnesses but for his tail so when he entered it was without fail
with his mask on
crept to the back
walked in the kitchen where the cake was at
saw grandma put the final touches on
and stuck her in the freezer with the lights turned off
now the little girl so unsuspecting
her grandmas life she lost protecting
many many years he had planned for the day
and now revenge was underway
he climbed in the cake according to plan
not to pop out until the music began and...


Here comes a joke with a punchline riddled with bullets
the only guaranteed win is if you don't pull it
never spin the wheel in the woods by yourself
never wonder off track cause it's bad for your health
on that day so long ago
little did my brother know
you'd cut him open and fill him with rocks
up to his throat so he couldn't talk
and still you killed my father too
he drowned in a trough of sausage stew
what a grimm story, but believe it's true
that's when the wolf heard his musical cue
"Oh my what big ears you have"
"Oh my what big eyes you have"
"Oh my what big teeth you have"
"All the better to bite you in half"
The girl was confused she had heard this before
but it's not the song she was waiting for
the cake was now in the center of the room
the wold burst forth from his tasty tomb
remove his mask
pointed to the crowd
as the room at large still sang out loud
every guest unmasked in attendance
were all just wolves, seeking vengeance


They gathered round just like she had wanted
the snarling wolves all sang and taunted
the little girl smirked with the beasts approaching
what hid in the rafters left them all unknowing
the hunter who had helped before
came back once more to settle the score
but what happened after that was just uncalled for
the chandelier above their heads had oil burning lanterns
and the hunter he took aim while the wolves kept up their banter
he let a single arrow go and sail through the air
and kissed the little thread that held the chandelier there
when gravity quick snapped into action
the oils caused a chain reaction
the fixture claimed so many names
as each and every lantern burst into flames
when it comes to lighting candles on your birthday night
it seems like this little girl is not the cake and candles type
