Kingdom Of Madness

When the night is on the run and your dreams are almost gone
Seas of fire snatch your soul, beast 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?

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, beast 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

2. Universe

Here we go through the wide open spaces
Oh, cold winds blow sands of time in our faces
Beggars plead others greed in high places
Oh, love is won, love is lost, leaves no traces

Take your eyes across the sea, past the mountains
Oh, do you hear, though it's far, someone's counting
People write, armies fight, children shouting
Oh, love is won, love is real, love's a fountain

Who holds the answer to the universe?
Who holds the answer to the universe?
Who holds the answer to the universe?

Eagles fly past the sun to the rainbow
Yes, they decide where they're from, where they can go
But no one cries, someone hides in the shadow
Oh, love is kind, love is yours, love is mellow

Who holds the answer to the universe?
Who holds the answer to the universe?
Who holds the answer to the universe?
