[Verse 1: Mark Jansen]

Madness surrounds me

Anger growing, disbelief

Chaos erupting

Turmoil brewing, fires blaze

Madness within me

Final stage of tranquility

Madness within you

Anarchy is looming

[Chorus: Mark Jansen]

Defcon 4, prepare for war

Distrust and desperation

Unaware of mayhem to come

Human devastation

[Verse 2: Mark Jansen]

Madness around me

Radiation frying our brains

Knowledge deceiving

Sources manifesting hate

Madness within me

Every day goes on and on

Madness within you

Apathy is dooming

[Chorus: Mark Jansen]

Defcon 4, prepare for war

Distrust and desperation

Unaware of mayhеm to come

Human devastation

[Bridge: Mark Jansen]

Insanity

Taking hold

Humanity

A dying breed

Despеrately clinging

Onto existence of pain

Tormenting future

No one to save us now

Desperately clinging

Onto existence of pain

Tormenting future

No one to save us now, we're dead

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3: Mark Jansen]

Madness surrounds me

Anger growing, disbelief

Chaos erupting

Turmoil brewing, fires blaze

[Chorus: Mark Jansen]

Defcon 4, prepare for war

Distrust and desperation

Unaware of mayhem to come

Human devastation
