The Mouth of Madness

I creep into… your room at night
And nothing can… keep you right
Creature’s stir… In my grasp
Coherent thoughts… They won’t last

Monsters come with me to bring the pain
Leave about them bodies of the slain
Reality splits inside your mind
In the darkness you will never find
Solace from the nightmares evades you
Absolutely nothing you can do

Moments of madness bring your doom
Take your place in a padded room

I see inside… your shattered mind
You see outside… ties that bind
Fangs and claws… grip your flesh
Close your eyes… there’s no rest

Lovecraftian nightmares come to life
Call of the sleeping gods in the night
Sacrifice those you love for their thirst
Thrown into a pit, you’re not the first
Shattered sanity is just a dream
Deep inside, let loose a scream

Moments of madness bring your doom
Take your place in a padded room
The mouth of madness brings your doom
Take your place in a padded room
