Give your life to the one that eats your soul
to the one that's forever in control
Give him everything he wants and then some more
cannot run, cannot hide, there's no escaping
you will go down, lose your mind
madness lies waiting '
Around every bend, around every corner.
The mad man has his eye on you
he'll drive you right across the border
of insanity
to where your inner demons rule
and then he catches you
Say your prayers to the one that owns your thoughts
the one who can't be defeated, can't be fought
feed him every fear that lingers in your heart
he owns the key that locks the door on sanity
forever lurking in the shadows he will be
Around every bend, around every corner.
The mad man has his eye on you
he'll drive you right across the border
of insanity
to where your inner demons rule
and then he catches you
Gave your life to the one that ate your soul
who's now forever in control
gave him everything he wanted and some more
Tired of running, tired of hiding sick of trying
to escape the fear of things that might be lying
Around the bend, around the corner.
The mad man has his eye on you
he'll drive you right across the border
of insanity
to where your inner demons rule
and then he catches you
