When the night is on the run
And your dreams are almost gone
Seas of fire snatch your soul
Beasts of morning then unfold
In a whirlpool sadness creeps
Shadows walk with silent feet
Is there something in the air
Turns your hope into despair?
Despair

Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me on the run
When the night is on the run
And your dreams are almost gone
Seas of fire snatch your soul
Beasts of morning then unfold

Take your hands away from me
Leave my eyes so I can see
It's not pleasure that you seek
You destroy the ones who are weak
Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me on the run

The minstrel sings as he looks at me
But he doesn't make a sound
And a lovely time is had by all
As the jester plays around
Everyone's laughing
Everyone's laughing
Everyone's laughing but me

Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me on the run
Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me on the run
