lyrics

Once I saw the face of madness, looking for a home,
Gazing out of the half light and into the city's glow,
Truth was written 'cross his face, he said our time was done,
The Fanfares have all started, hear the beating of the drum.

I've seen a thousand mornings, now the hollow sky grows old
I've gazed into oblivion, beyond the last lies told,
Soon those houses stand like tombstones, on the sterile ground,
Shadow people left behind stumble through the towns...

...Feel the cold embrace, feel the minutes race,
I looked into the face, the face of madness...

I've seen a sky erupt in fire and ashclouds block the sun,
I've seen the broken millions and the songs they sing to no-one,
Fading, fading, faster now, I hear their last refrain,
The face of madness slowly shudders back into the grey....

...Feel the cold embrace, feel the minutes race,
I looked into the face, the face of madness...

Once I saw the face of madness looking for a home...

about

The Neon Madmen Chester, UK

All three members are involved in songwriting; ignoring genre and a shared surreal take on life makes for a highly individual sound.

The Neon Madmen's debut album CLIMB was released in January 2015, and they're super happy about it. ... more
