The Whole of Your Story

As you wander the circus
You see a lot of tents 
Acrobats, fire eaters and contortionists
But the most tragic would be 
The fortune teller's tent 
Here by the light of a tallow candle 
That sends flickering shadows 
Dancing on the wall
You will know your future 
She'll tell you your whole story
Especially how it ends 
Then she'll break your heart boy
For nothing you do
Will ever change the end 

The Bilge Master
