[Verse 1]
Foul child, bastard and beast
O lost lamb, first to the feast
Come claim if you're able a spot at this table
Mild and meek, down on your knees
For hide and seek. It's time that we feed
Your heart is racing, blood is running cold
Your fractured will is whispering (fly away)
Far Away, here be lions
[Chorus]
Say goodnight
With each bite does your sanity die
Sucking the life out, letting the dark
Inside, say a prayer as the light leaves your eyes
Or scream all you like, your gods can't hear you
[Post-Chorus]
Scream
Now scream
Scream
Pseudo suicide, don't choke on your pride
Scream
Now scream
Now scream
Yeah, I'm gonna watch you bleed
[Verse 2]
Flensed and flayed, how does it feel?
Your pound is paid, those scars will not heal
Lost in suffering, drowning in your tears
Won't someone, somewhere tell me
(Where do I) go from here
Be the lion
[Chorus]
Say goodnight
With each bite does your sanity die
Sucking the life out, letting the dark
Inside, say a prayer as the light leaves your eyes
Or scream all you like, the gods can't hear you
Dressed in rage, inside my cage
My pandemonium, still bound to the flame that I bear
Buried alive in the coffin of who I used to be
I'll scream all I like, 'cause we're all mad here
[Bridge]
Slumbering, tumbling
Wandering, wondering
Suffering, hungering
Forever falling into my mind
Deeper, deeper down 'til I
[Chorus]
Say goodnight to the shadow I left far behind
I'm just a stranger, we are all strange
Inside, you can run but there's nowhere to hide
So scream all you like, no one can hear us
Follow me (Follow me), come follow me (Follow me)
To Pandemonium, still bound to the flame that I bear
There's no release (Rescue me) from this empty, waking wonderland (Rescue me)
So scream if you like, 'cause we're all mad here
Scream all you like, 'cause we're all mad here
