Roads to Madness (acoustic) [The Art of Live 2004]
Most of this is memory now I've gone too far to turn back now I'm not quite what I thought I was but Then again I'm maybe more The blood-words promised, I've spoken Releasing the names from the circle Maybe I can leave here now and, o Transcend the boundaries
For now I'm standing here I'm awaiting this grand transition The future is but past forgotten On the road to madness
Times measure rusts as it crawls I see its face in the looking glass - stop This screaming laughter hides, the pain of its reality Black, the door was locked I opened And now I've paid that price ten-fold over Knowledge - was it worth such torment, oh To see the far side of shadow
And still I'm standing here I'm awaiting this grand transition I'm a fool in search of wisdom And I'm on the road to madness Yes, I'm on the road to madness
I'm awaiting endlessly Pounding rhythms echo me Won't you take me somewhere far beyond the void
And still I'm standing here I'm awaiting this grand transition Maybe one day, oh I'll meet you, and we'll Walk the roads to madness Yes, we're on the road to madness
Oh, I think they've come to take me I hear the voice, but there's no-one to see I can't scream, too late it's time
Stay on the course to pass You'll never find the answer To a place where darkened angels Seemed lost and never found Scream to see the light of Forming figures fast behind you Lay the past in the wind to spin And your fate will sail beyond the open plains Sail with angels onward Live or die for the chosen one said Saber sights cast a spell behind you And they lock in all around
Free the scene insider Never looking back to find why Ride a course till the end of time And you'll stand atop the gate Laying waste in a path recited Fighting force won't avenge the guided black wing Oh, electric might poses fright inside me Seeing light at the end of sight reminds me I've passed away
