Pentagram
Madman
[Verse 1]
The talk of night is nearing
As the madman makes his rounds
The city lights appearing
Into surrounding towns

[Chorus]
And all the while I'll love you
But leave you as you sleep
For I have unfinished business
Right now I'm so weak

[Verse 2]
The cops are out patrolling
The new night has brought the word
Announcements from the city
It's brutal so I've heard

[Chorus]
All the while I'll love you
But leave you as you sleep
For I may not see tomorrow
Right now I'm so weak

[Verse 3]
A lady saw the traces
She said of blood upon the grounds
But after all their searching
Nothing could be found
[Chorus]
And all the while I'll love you
But leave you as you sleep
For I may not see tomorrow
Right now I'm so weak - oh no

[Bridge]
I got home at midnight
No sleep I had to tell
Could I reach those heavens
Or was I born to serve him so well?
Next thing I discovered
I awoke in the dark room
Clock struck five knife at my side
Your life had met with doom, yeah

[Verse 4]
So as the new day opens
The sun is cast with gloom
And as the cover closes
I cry beside your tomb

[Chorus]
Though I'll always love you
I couldn't stand the pain
Now it's time to take another life
A madman dies in vain
