welcome to the auditorium, tonight,
make yourself comfortable, take a seat,
trust me you won't want to miss this,
don't even blink, you're in for a treat...

and so starts the musical performance,
our soloist has taken the stage,
he's doing a dance with anger's temptation,
platform's ringing with his rage

tiptoeing around, enter figures in red,
each one dragging a forked tail,
music fades, he's wrestling with his demons,
a battle ensues to no avail...

next up the orchestra rises with strength,
as the man's visually going insane,
his body twists and writhes with madness,
hands struggle to withhold his pain

this turns into a delicate ballet,
he seems so happy and free,
spotlight follows him gliding along the stage,
crimson colors start to stream...

then a terrifying scream climbs out,
his lifeless body falls to the floor,
someone off stage, whispers 'the end'
audience cheers, wanting more...
