Lyrics
[Verse 1] Most of this is memory now I've gone too far to turn back now I'm not quite what I thought I was But then again, I may be more The blood-words promised, I've spoken Releasing the names from the circle Maybe I can leave here now and Oh, transcend the boundaries [Chorus 1] For now, I'm standing here I'm awaiting this grand transition The future is but past forgotten When you're on the road to madness [Verse 2] Times measure rusts as it crawls I see it's face in the looking glass, stop This screaming laughter hides the pain Of its reality Black, the door was, was locked, I opened Oh, now I've paid that price tenfold over Knowledge, was it worth such torment Oh, to see the far side of shadow? [Chorus 2] And still I'm standing here I'm awaiting this grand transition I'm a fool in search of wisdom And I'm on the road to madness Yes, I'm on the road to madness [Bridge 1] I'm awaiting endlessly Pounding rhythms echo me Won't you take me somewhere far beyond the void? [Guitar Solo - Michael Wilton] [Chorus 3] And still I'm standing here I'm awaiting this grand transition Well, maybe one day, oh, I'll meet you and we'll We'll walk the roads to madness Yes, we're on the road to madness [Bridge 2] Oh, I think they've come to take me I hear the voice but there's no one to see I can't scream, too late, it's time [Bridge 3] Shh, believe me My conscience is shackled by its thoughts Is this the end? Why has this thing gone unnoticed, the obvious step to the door? Listen, you'd better have something tying you down Or come unshackled from the shadow of your existence Who knows the name of he who is king, except his soldiers? We're living, we're living in the past, the present, the future We're wise now and forever [Verse 3] Stay on the course to pass, you'll never find the answer To a place where darkened angels seemed lost but never found Scream to see the light of forming figures fast behind you Lay the past in the wind to spin And your fate will sail beyond the open plains, yeah [Guitar Solo - Michael Wilton] [Verse 4] Sail with angels onward, live or die for the chosen one said Saber sights cast a spell behind you, they lock in all around Free the scene insider, you're never looking back to find why Ride a horse till the end of time and you'll stand atop the gate [Outro] Laying waste in the path recited A fighting force won't avenge the guided black wing Oh, electric might poses fright inside me Seeing light at the end of sight reminds me I've passed away
