It's a promise that he made to himself
But the thrill puts his pact on the shelf
Locked in a prison he built over time
Made of bitterness, hate, and his lies

A life on trial a sad refrain
A mans denial of pain sustained
He can't control the deepening hole
He feels true peace with rage unleashed

The devil feeds on my thoughts
Even when I pray
A broken promise that I'll
Never lose it again?
The darkness sucks on my soul
And keeps the sun away
I can't stop it so now
Let the madness begin

So many voices bounce around in his head
Some tell him that he'd be better off dead?
Can't shake the urge when the madness calls
So set the world ablaze and watch the kingdom fall

A marriage failed a time in jail
A future bright turned black as night
He grins with hate all hope is erased
He can't resist the demons kiss
The devil feeds on my thoughts
Even when I pray
A broken promise that I'll
Never lose it again?
The darkness sucks on my soul
And keeps the sun away
I can't stop it so now
Let the madness begin

[Solo]

The devil feeds on my thoughts
Even when I pray
A broken promise that I'll
Never lose it again?
The darkness sucks on my soul
And keeps the sun away
I can't stop it so now
Let the madness begin

The devil feeds on my thoughts
Even when I pray
A broken promise that I'll
Never lose it again?
The darkness sucks on my soul
And keeps the sun away
I can't stop it so now
Let the madness begin
Now let the madness begin
