[Verse 1]

Human minds, frail and scared

Freed by death, and death is fair

Hopeless souls play a part

In my wicked work of art

Such relief every time

Taking life, to take what's mine

At the end, here we lie

Here, we're killers or we die

[Chorus]

When the world was turned to gray

The hatred wouldn't go away

Resentment in chains

In the coldest of all hearts

A voice descends, the light departs

Madness remains

[Verse 2]

Play the game, paint your scene

Taking this to the extreme

Masterpiece, dark design

Your last moments, only mine

It's a need, here in dust

Kill the world that stole from us

Take your place, let it be

In my crimson symphony

[Chorus]

When the world was turned to gray

The hatred wouldn't go away

Resentment in chains

In the coldest of all hearts

A voice descends, the light departs

Madness remains

[Bridge]

I feel it in my bones

A need to be your god

A need to strike you down

When order disappeared

And madness took control

The conscience in me drowned

I want to be your guide into the afterlife

It's a gift, look past the pain like I do

I want to see your eyes just before your demise

When only fear remains inside you

[Chorus]

When the world was turned to gray

The hatred wouldn't go away

Resentment in chains

In the coldest of all hearts

A voice descends, the light departs

Madness remains

[Outro]

Madness

Madness remains

Madness

Madness remains
