07_Mad Men Lyrics

Mad men talk to grey ghosts

The place is not that sacred

They have no time for patience

The gold dazzles their eyes

Greek myths took time to fade

The priests came with empty hands

There was no place for freedom

The power held them in chains

Back and forth the door keeps swinging

Too many times it finds them sinning

Up and down the moods keep spinning

Broke and helpless nobody's winning

Passing doubts gave life to lies

The king had no one to tell him

The way was filled with the lost

Terror spun magic in their hearts

Spirits leave their mark in the dust

There is no one they can trust

The touch of darkness blinds them

The force of hunger drives them on

Back and forth the door keeps swinging

Too many times it finds them sinning

Up and down the moods keep spinning

Broke and helpless nobody's winning

Touch the place where the good ones

Sit smiling' at the tragic joke

Keep the peace and give the joy

Nothing' plays the song you took

Have there been true tales told

Does the preacher make the cold

Do the children live in hope

Does the future have a place for them

Back and forth the door keeps swinging

Too many times it finds them sinning

Up and down the moods keep spinning

Broke and helpless nobody's winning
