[Intro] [drum sticks click count-off] [distorted electric guitar riff with syncopated palm muting] [bass and drums enter] [Verse 1] [gritty male vocals] Last night I had another blessing Of a deep or a quiet slumber For thoughts most wild and distressing Every woe and fear expressing My drowsy sense encumber In the clock with its cursed position Of night with its monotone [Chorus] [full band intensity increases] He is the madman Mad with the world obsession Mad with the sorrow prolong A thousand times reeling Reason around my world And around reason feeling [Bridge] [half-time feel, heavy bass] In a blacker darkness hurling In a blacker darkness hurling In the clock with its cursed position Of night with its monotone How it treasures away [Chorus] [high-pitched vocal sustain] He is the madman Mad with its world obsession And lawlessly lone [Guitar Solo] [wah-wah pedal effect on lead guitar, rapid alternate picking, melodic bends] [Outro] [vocals return with intense grit] For a spark And I woke to the clock's position Of night with its monotone Chuckling a madman past its session Madly lone [long sustained vocal note fading into guitar feedback]
