Madness Descends

Another time of madness descends

Why can't the hatred ever seem to end

Man against man brothers fighting one another

And no one ready to make amends

Violence calls to my spirit and my sanity

As madness sweeps all reason from my mind

I see the horsemen coming

Out of the west like a hurricane

I hear the horsemen calling out my name

Fingers of hate now pluck the strings of my heart

My blood signs red with a bloody want

As my soul screams a futile cry for reason

The riders call to my basest part

I see the horsemen coming

Out of the west like a hurricane

I hear the horsemen calling out my name

When the time of violent outrage now arrives

Are the horsemen waiting from the side

In this when the world can reach no reason

Or is this the calm before the storm

I hear

I hear
