The madness of madmen

Verse

I hear the distant sound of drums.

Fear the message that they send.

Hear the rattling of sabers

And the war that they portend.

Pre chorus

Fathers, brothers, sons will die.

Mothers and wives will cry.

Freedom will cling to courage

But will it survive?

Chorus

War is the madness, the madness

The madness of mad men.

Verse

I hear the rumble of the tanks.

See the flashing of the guns.

See the destruction of missiles.

Know the death has just begun.

Pre chorus

Fathers, brothers, sons will die.

Mothers and wives will cry.

Freedom will cling to courage

But will it survive?

Chorus

War is the madness, the madness

The madness of mad men.

Bridge

Let one domino topple; more will soon fall.

This is not your land but it is your war.

Pre chorus

Fathers, brothers, sons will die.

Mothers and wives will cry.

Freedom will cling to courage

But will it survive?

Chorus

War is the madness, the madness

The madness of mad men.
