Our Own Destruction - The Madman Is Near Lyrics

Fiction spawns reality
A sleepless night, an endless drive
To a place unknown to the real world
Light distant to darkened skies
Shadows form before my eyes
That is where the evil will reside

Then we see the demon's eyes
Through the pathway to the mind
The endless searching
Finding nothing
Turn the page you will find what you seek

Children laugh into the wind
But no one's there
We walk down empty streets, afraid
The madman is near

Skeptical, in disbelief
Reality is what we preach
That's when the world crumbles below
Silence turns to violent screams
Blood is shed, the earth just weeps
This is where the evil resides

Fiction is your life
Every word you say is every word I write

Is this a dream
Am I awake
I see the world has gone insane

I wont leave you there
I will keep you alive
But you will never run from me
I will leave you there
I will keep you alive
But you will never run from me

I will laugh as you run
The end is in your hands
