Madness of the Crown

[Verse 1] In the castle, high and grand, Lies a king with a trembling hand, Lost in madness, lost in pain, His kingdom falls like pouring rain. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, his mind is a twisted maze, Leaving all in a darkened daze, His rule, a shadow of what it was, As chaos reigns with every buzz. [Beat Drop] [Chorus] Mad King, Mad King, on the throne, His madness spreads, his heart of stone, Oh, his subjects tremble in fear, As his madness draws ever near. [Backup Vocals] (Madness, madness, in his eyes,) (Bringing ruin under darkened skies,) (Oh, his kingdom weeps and cries,) (As his sanity slowly dies) [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Once a ruler fair and just, Now consumed by power and lust, His people suffer, his kingdom bleeds, As he feeds on their desperate pleas. [Tone Change] [Pre-Chorus] In the halls where whispers flow, Lies the truth that none dare show, A king drenched in his own despair, Lost in madness beyond repair. [Beat Drop] [Chorus] Mad King, Mad King, on the throne, His madness spreads, his heart of stone, Oh, his subjects tremble in fear, As his madness draws ever near. [Backup Vocals] (Madness, madness, in his cries,) (Bringing darkness, swallowing lies,) (Oh, his kingdom fades away,) (In the grip of his dismay.) [Instrumental] [Bridge] In the night, his laughter rings, Echoing through the shattered wings, Of a kingdom once so bright and bold, Now swallowed by madness, so cold. [Soft Music] [Piano Solo] [Music builds Up] [Beat Drop] [Instrumental] [Chorus] Mad King, Mad King, on the throne, His madness spreads, his heart of stone, Oh, his subjects tremble in fear, As his madness draws ever near. [Backup Vocals] (Madness, madness, in his wake,) (Leaving nothing but heartache,) (Oh, his reign shall soon expire,) (Consumed by his own dark desire.) [Soft Music] [Piano Solo] [Music builds Up] [Beat Drop] [Instrumental] [yelled verse] Mad King, Mad King, fades away, In the shadows, where demons play, His kingdom mourns, his people cry, As madness claims its final sigh [Soft Music] [Piano Solo]
