The mad one

(Verse 1) Listen close to the tale of this troubled king, Fear grips his heart, his mind takes wing. His throne room's a maze, a labyrinthic lore, As he leaps from tables, avoiding the floor. With trembling hands, he commands his court, "Fetch me a servant, make haste, make it short!" For the ground beneath him, a realm to abhor, As he tiptoes and trembles, avoiding the floor. (Verse 2) His advisors huddle, their whispers discreet, But the king's paranoia, they cannot defeat. With tables as islands, and chairs as his shield, He roams through his kingdom, a ruler concealed. The servants obey, their steps ever light, For the king's terror turns day into night. But amidst his madness, a prophecy's core, In his fear of the ground, there lies something more. (Chorus) Oh, the mad king, oh the mad king, In his castle of fear, where the shadows cling. With tables and chairs as his stepping stones, In his kingdom of chaos, he reigns alone. His ramblings, they echo through the halls, As he dances with demons, his sanity falls. Oh, the mad king, oh the mad king, In his world of delusion, where nightmares sing. (Verse 3) In the final hour, as darkness descends, A pit to hell opens, where the king's fear ends. His ramblings, once mocked, now revealed as true, As the earth trembles, and the sky turns blue. The tables, the chairs, the servants' plight, All mere stepping stones in the king's fright. For beneath the surface, a truth to explore, As the pit to hell swallows the floor. (Chorus) Oh, the mad king, oh the mad king, In his castle of fear, where the shadows cling. With tables and chairs as his stepping stones, In his kingdom of chaos, he reigns alone. His ramblings, they echo through the halls, As he dances with demons, his sanity falls. Oh, the mad king, oh the mad king, In his world of delusion, where nightmares sing. His ramblings, they echo through the halls, As he dances with demons, his sanity falls. Oh, the mad king, oh the mad king, In his world of delusion, where nightmares sing. Oh-wah-oh oh oh oh. (Verse 4) As the abyss beckons, the king stands tall, Confronting his demons, answering the call. His madness, a shield, his fear, a key, To unlock the mysteries of what's to be. But in the depths of despair, a flicker of light, As the king finds courage in the midst of the night. For in facing his demons, he finds his core, (Chorus) Oh, the mad king, oh the mad king, In his castle of fear, where the shadows cling. Ruling with an iron fist driven by fear All they could do was shed a tear His ramblings, they echo through the halls, As leaps and bounds, the heads the calls. Oh, the mad king, oh the mad king, Within his walls, the demons sing Oh, the mad king, oh the mad king, Oh, the mad king, oh the mad king, (Chorus) Oh, the mad king, oh the mad king, In his castle of fear, where the shadows cling. With tables and chairs as his stepping stones, In his kingdom of chaos, he reigns alone. His ramblings, they echo through the halls, As he dances with demons, his sanity falls. Oh, the mad king, oh the mad king, In his world of delusion, where nightmares sing. Oh oh oh-wah-oh oh oh Oh oh oh-wah-oh oh oh (Chorus) Oh, the mad king, oh the mad king, In his castle of fear, where the shadows cling. With tables and chairs as his stepping stones, In his kingdom of chaos, he reigns alone. His ramblings, they echo through the halls, As he dances with demons, his sanity falls. Oh, the mad king, oh the mad king, In his world of delusion, where nightmares sing. Oh oh oh-wah-oh oh oh Oh oh oh-wah-oh oh oh *whisper* (Oh, the mad king)
