Madam Merry-Go-Round

**Madam Merry-Go-Round** is a song affiliated with, but not a part of, the "Four Endings Series". It follows the prophetic dream of Gammon Okuto as he envisions the ultimate fate of the Doll Director.

## Plot

In an unspecified time and place, the titular Madam Merry-Go-Round welcomes a visitor to a happy land that will undo the "chains" binding them. She offers attractions such as the ferris wheel and haunted house, as well as herself, to them; she then tells the visitor that if they get tired, they can rest in a "cold cradle".

While riding utop a wooden horse, Madam Merry-Go-Round claims that a transient utopia can be seen. She then adds that even if the world is destroyed, she will remain, inviting the visitor to join her in forgetting everything.

According to Madam Merry-Go-Round, to grant the visitor's wish, they must get in line and wait. She comments on the shadow parade, with their eyes faced towards the end as they march on; she also adds that the midnight games they are engaged in were desired by the visitor, not herself.

The Madam is then stated to be a beauty who resembles someone, with memories that have long been forgotten; one memory that remains, however, is her embracing someone with a warm and cheerful demeanor. However, even if the visitor admires her beauty and falls in love with her, it is only a dream that lasts one night.

As Madam Merry-Go-Round regrets the vow made between two people that was not kept, she reiterates that she will continue to remain even if the world is destroyed, telling the visitor to not blame her if they become unable to return home.

## Lyrics

Welcome to this happy country,

I will undo the chains that bind you

There is a ferris wheel, a haunted house,

And just for tonight, a slave for you

If you become worn from playing,

Come sleep in a cold cradle

Madam Merry-Go-Round

Queen of the amusement park

Madam Merry-Go-Round

A shackled host

A transient utopia can be seen

From the top of a wooden horse

Madam Merry-Go-Round

Even if the world is destroyed

Madam Merry-Go-Round

I will continue to remain here

You should cycle around now

And completely forget everything

If you want your wish granted,

Get in line and wait your turn

The shining shadow parade

With their eyes on the end

Will continue through thick and thin

The one who desires these midnight games

Is not me, but you

Madam Merry-Go-Round

A beauty who resembles someone

Madam Merry-Go-Round

Forgotten memories

She embraced a genial warmth

With pale white hands

Madam Merry-Go-Round

Even if you fall in love

Madam Merry-Go-Round

This is a dream bound to one night

A vow exchanged between two

That was not kept that day

Madam Merry-Go-Round

Queen of the amusement park

Madam Merry-Go-Round

A shackled host

A transient utopia can be seen

From the top of a wooden horse

Madam Merry-Go-Round

Even if the world is destroyed

Madam Merry-Go-Round

I will continue to remain here

Even if you can never go home,

Don't blame me, okay?
