Laughing Ashes
Post-Clown-Core metal. Dark, surreal and tragic fusion of depressive black metal, circus music, glitch and grotesque carnival horror. Broken music boxes, distorted clown horns, heavy crushing riffs, chaotic blast beats and melancholic melodies. Vocals: Manic, unstable clown voice — mixing deranged laughter, sobbing, desperate screams and theatrical singing. Extremely emotional, ironic and heartbreaking. Mood: The last clown performing in a burning world. Absurd, tragic, nihilistic and deeply disturbing. Maximum Post-Clown-Core energy.

Lyrics
**Laughing Ashes**
Intro – broken music box + distorted clown horn
Honk… honk… ha… ha… ha…
Verse 1
Red nose peeling, makeup running black
I’m the last clown performing while the sky cracks
Audience left, the tent is on fire
But the show must go on, that’s the entire lie
Pre-Chorus
I smile so wide that my face starts to split
The audience is gone but I still do my bit
Chorus
I’m laughing in the ashes, ha ha ha!
Twirling while the world burns down, ha ha ha!
Big shoes stepping on broken glass
Everybody’s dead but I’m still doing my act!
Verse 2
They paid for the ticket, they wanted the show
Now the circus is over but I won’t let go
I juggle with skulls, I dance with disease
The final performance for an empty marquee
Pre-Chorus
The spotlight flickers, the curtain is torn
But I take a bow like I was never warned
Chorus
I’m laughing in the ashes, ha ha ha!
Crying in the makeup, ha ha ha!
The world ended yesterday
But I’m still doing cartwheels anyway!
Bridge – slow, broken, spoken/sung
You see… the joke was never funny…
We were the punchline all along…
And still… I put the nose back on…
Breakdown – chaotic circus metal
HONK! HONK! HAHAHA!
BURN! BURN! HAHAHA!
SMILE! SMILE! THROUGH THE PAIN!
CLOWN WORLD FOREVER! HAHAHA!
Final Chorus – completely unhinged
I’m laughing in the ashes, ha ha ha!
The last clown standing, ha ha ha!
No one left to laugh at me
So I laugh at myself… hysterically!
Outro – fading music box + distant sobs
Honk…
Honk…
…ha…
