Madman - Pentagram

The talk of night is nearing

As the madman makes his rounds

The city lights appearing

Into surrounding towns

All the while I’ll love you

But leave you as you sleep

For I have unfinished business

Right now I’m so weak

The cops are out patrolling

The new night has brought the word

Announcements from the city

It’s brutal so I’ve heard

All the while I’ll love you

But leave you as you sleep

For I may not see tomorrow

Right now I’m so weak

A lady saw the traces

She said of blood upon the grounds

But after all their searching

Nothing could be found

All the while I’ll love you

But leave you as you sleep

For I may not see tomorrow

Right now I’m so weak — oh no

I got home at midnight

No sleep I had to tell

Could I reach those heavens

Or was I born to serve him so well

Next thing I discovered

I awoke in the dark room

Clock struck five knife at my side

Your life had met with doom yeah

So as the new day opens

The sun is cast with gloom

And as the cover closes

I cry beside your tomb

Though I’ll always love you

I couldn’t stand the pain

Now it’s time to take another life

A madman dies in vain
