Chasing the Night

No one looks twice at the runt of the litter An evil cradling, a saviour embittered The dark is stealing the light Fear let you in but your secret's not for sale Madman chasing the night Dead souls give birth to a world beyond the pale The fools entrusted the keys to the kingdom Blind men who planted the seeds of destruction Standing alone and you're caught in my dream Sleeping at night and I can't hear you scream Sacrifice you and I'd sacrifice me You're a drop in the ocean of my vanity You scarred us all But then you rose without a trace The dark is stealing the light Fear let you in but your secret's not for sale Madman chasing the night Dead souls give birth to a world beyond the pale You had it planned Planned from the start You took a chance And burnt your heart away A million men Just couldn't stop The chosen one Who lives to be obeyed Another lie Deceives the eye But two wrongs can't make a right A blackened heart Too late to hide The loneliness inside... And if you want it I know you're gonna take it Ride the road to ruin Greed is your salvation Stop it! Are words you can't conceive of Ends defy the means We're marching to damnation Suffer! The ones that you ignored The ones without a hope The child without a future Nothing! Can satisfy the hunger That destroys the peace for paranoia In faraway places, hidden from sight A burning ambition snuffs out a life A smiling face masks the stench of corruption A rejects dream brings a world to extinction Standing alone and you're caught in my dream Sleeping at night and I can't hear you scream Sacrifice you and I'd sacrifice me You're a drop in the ocean of my vanity
