Prelude: On With the Show Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen
The show is about to begin
This show has been rated X
To expand on your dramatic experience
There will be glorious and horrific
Displays of humanity
There will be great triumphs
And devastating tragedies
Exhilarating joy and desperate despair
Justice and injustice
Heroic and cowardice acts
Clarity and confusion

Undying love and unyielding heartache
Unspeakable acts of cruelty
Compassionate acts of kindness

There will be crushing defeats
And glorious achievements
Critics worldwide give this show
Five stars and call it, "Beautiful"
