When the night is on the run
And your dreams are almost gone
Seas of fire snatch your soul
Beasts of morning then unfoldIn a whirlpool sadness creeps
Shadows walk with silent feet
Is there something in the air
Turns your hope into despair?
DespairOh, 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 runWhen the night is on the run
And your dreams are almost gone
Seas of fire snatch your soul
Beasts of morning then unfoldTake 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 weakOh, 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 runThe 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 meOh, 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
