[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
