The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Living In the Carnival Beyond the Greatest Show On Earth

Reach for heavens gate with your heart in your hand

Unlock the door with your love command

Stop by and get a kiss at the booth

Envelope your self on the ride of truth

Catch a smile from an angelic face

Enter a tent of mystery and not feel out of place

See the clownish souls of life's past

The ringmaster of love will make them eternally last

Get your ticket and enjoy the show 

The more you learn the more you will know

Read the book and see all of the glory

Do not fall for the devils side story

Feeling no change as time goes bye

Touch the clouds earn your wings to fly

Strike a blow and let passions rise

Let your heart fill double in size

Dance in a dream and drink up the cheer

No time exists for you to fear

Climb the tree to see forever is far

Reach out and release to finally touch a star

The meaning of it all is just a question away

Ask for the answer as you kneel and pray

Take the time to eat fire without your earthly woes

The battle is won over your inner demonic foes

Look into the funny mirror and see the peaceful face

No longing for yesterday never wanting to leave this place

No reason to hide no reason to run

The pain of life is over and done 

Testify and sing your sins our loud

Walk the wire and soar above the crowd

From the ashes of death comes rebirth

Living in the carnival beyond the greatest show on earth
