NEW ALBUM
‘CARNAVAL DE LUZ’
SET FOR RELEASE ON NOVEMBER 13th, 2026

Love is a business that works at night
I sold myself for less than was right
You taught me what I was worth
In the greatest show on earth
Made a profession out of breaking your heart
You call it lies, I call it art
I was some of your best work
We were once the greatest show on earth
The light scatters things can get worse
These dark matters of the universe
Could not compete with us
We were once the greatest show on earth
