THE MADMAN WATCHES

And so the madman watches
Your heart will feel his pain
The mind screams redemption
Away into desolate planes
The madness never screams out
Down on deadly terrain
With fireflies that dance
And willows that cry rain
The birds among high
And the flowers down below
And into the depths and shadows
No one else will ever know
That the madman is watching
Though he means no harm
His flight will take leave
And so his winning charm
Death reigns supreme
When his light did arrive
And then snuffed out it was
None then did survive
But it was not his soul
Nor his deviant nature
It was the deal he made
That made the devil his savior
And when the time came
To put the world at end
His hand did swing the blade
And his savior he did defend
He fought the world against his will
He did not want this ruin
But as it came it quickly went
And there was nothing left to it
The madman does watch
Though he once was never there
His keen eye always pronounced
Watching below the devil’s stair
His life was once beautiful
A beauty far more rare
And then that beauty vanished
The madman filled up with prayer
And when the lord did not answer
He walked away from his god
A new man fell in his place
Though his atmosphere was odd
The madman stared at the creature
Who offered him a deal
Become a servant to a creatures domain
And down on one knee you will kneel
But in return, the foul spirit proposed
While the madman stood upon flames
You will have the revenge you so long for
And for your torment, take the life that is to blame
The madman cursed the wicked beast
Though weary and weak he felt
This was his opportunity
For his vengeance to be dealt
And in one quick step
The madman lost his soul
The devil made way on his promise
And so the world, the madman stole
Now a servant in blood and murder
His vengeance is re-given
With every blow to every soul
He feels the trap of his being driven
Whilst all who knew him
Would never recognize his face
For the madman is a madman
Down in the devil’s soul waste
Your heart will feel his pain
The mind screams redemption
Away into desolate planes
The madness never screams out
Down on deadly terrain
With fireflies that dance
And willows that cry rain
The birds among high
And the flowers down below
And into the depths and shadows
No one else will ever know
That the madman is watching
Though he means no harm
His flight will take leave
And so his winning charm
Death reigns supreme
When his light did arrive
And then snuffed out it was
None then did survive
But it was not his soul
Nor his deviant nature
It was the deal he made
That made the devil his savior
And when the time came
To put the world at end
His hand did swing the blade
And his savior he did defend
