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 

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

The devil feeds on my thoughts 
Even when I pray 
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 

marriage failed a time in jail 
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 
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 
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 
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
