lyrics

Born in Rouen,
Erik’s cursed face they feared
He exhibited himself
Across Europe as a freak at fairs
A living corpse, he earned his keep
Also adept as a ventriloquist
He shared his skill, the greatest voice
His reputation reached, Marendaram
Boredom scratched the sultan
He demanded entertainment
A palace he ordered built
Erik laid out the plans
Then the shah sent Daroga
To blind the architect
The order he could not undertake
The Persian assisted with his escape
And he himself, was exiled
What a fool he was that day
For not stabbing him there and then.
