So little wisdom

Inside the mind

Mostly the madness of life

Unbalanced fission

Building inside

Melt-down of logical sight



Torment is burning

Inside the brain

Something is yearning

To escape the pain

Here in the fire

Only the strong survive



Ashes to ashes

Minds turn to dust

Lost in the whirlwind

A touch of madness



Caught in a crossfire

Of reality and dream

No one seems to hear the screams

Lightning the funeral pyre

And living in the flame

Nothing gained without pain



Torment is burning

Inside the brain

Something is yearning

To escape the pain

Here in the fire

Only the strong survive



Ashes to ashes

Minds turn to dust

Lost in the whirlwind

A touch of madness



I'm touched

By madness



Standing before the Labyrinth

The birthing place of true torment

No time left to confess

For the wicked there is no rest

When touched by madness



Lost in a fantasy

Distorted and deranged

Wild the spirit never tamed

Taught by humanity

To cage what's deemed insane

No one wants to take the blame



Torment is burning

Inside the brain

Something is yearning

To escape the pain

Here in the fire

Only the strong survive



Ashes to ashes

Minds turn to dust

Lost in the whirlwind

A touch of madness



I'm touched

By madness
