"Step forwards, my dearest
Roll right up, come on come on!
Stand in front of many and sing
Your heart out till it bleeds!
Don't let yourself shrink away!
It's too late to vanish now!

Don't step backwards, my dearest
Roll right up, come on come on!
The crowd are getting very impatient
Why must you dare make us wait?
Don't tremble in front of us!
Sing, my darling, I demand you SING!"

--

The lights are down, everyone sleep
Except a little girl refusing to
Close her eyes!
The innocent child begun to wander outside
After hearing hallowed music and voices in the night...
No conscience, trusting curiosity
The staggered little girl was in for a fright!

In the forest an abandoned building
Comes back to life when the sun
No longer shines!
A skeletal hand invited her inside
The small girl stepped
Past the door to see...
A children's playground in the daytime
Becomes a ballroom that should
Only exist in dreams!

"Step forwards, my dearest
Roll right up, come on come on!
Welcome to the masquerade ball
A spectral dance of fiends!
My, don't let yourself shrink away!
We're not as scary as we seem!"

Ghosts, skeletons, vampires, wolves!
All locked in a dancing embrace.
Tuxedos and dresses, the tap of footsteps.
A sweet melody singing through her ears!
The ringmaster began to hum the tune.
This only other human held her hand.
"May I have this dance?
I wonder if I can be so inclined?"

The group of souls danced in perfect timing
The girl desired to dance
And not run!
Willingly letting the ringmaster lead
They stepped to and fro
Joining the theatre!
Bending down and whispering in her ear...
"My dearest, perhaps you'd
desire to join...

Permanently?"

The small child, unsure of her fate...
As the sun was soon to rise and they'd disperse...
The smile of the ringmaster made her fall in love...
Her greed made her crave the music forever...

"Then - sing for us!"

The foolish girl nodded and grinned.

"Step forwards, my dearest
Roll right up, come on come on!
Stand in front of many and sing
Your heart out till it bleeds!
Don't let yourself shrink away!
It's too late to vanish now!

Don't step backwards, my dearest
Roll right up, come on come on!
The crowd are getting very impatient
Why must you dare make us wait?
Don't tremble in front of us!
Sing, my darling, I demand you SING!"

---

The girl sung and sealed her fate.
The excited crowd grinned greedily...
Never again to see the light of day.
If only she didn't act so selfishly...
Never again to see family nor friend.
A forever lost, forgotten entity.
The ringmaster had found his dance partner.
And they danced till the end of time.

SO!

"Don't step forwards, my dearest
I beg of you, get back get back!
I want to see my family again...
And I'll forever miss my friends
Even if you wish to dance forever
PLEASE!
Don't leave everything behind...!"
Another song I created in love of the vocaloids. This song... unlike "Let's Play" hasn't been based on anything else. I'm quite proud of it, honestly.

The little girl isn't actually so little; she's teenage, and I imagine her to be Hatsune Miku if anyone of the vocaloids.

The ringmaster... I don't know why but every time I imagine him, he turns into Vincent Nightray of Pandora Hearts. Is this insane? Haha. I've only watched episode 10 of Pandora Hearts today and I've already become his fangirl... gosh.
His voice... however... probably is Kaito, though Gackupo would work too :3.
