[Silence]
[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]
[Intro]
Mad
(not angry)
Mad
(plain crazy)
[Instrumental, Guitar Solo]
[Low Drone, Distant Siren Synth, Heartbeat Percussion]
[Build: Bass Pulse, Tremolo Guitar, Organ Swell]
[Verse 1]
[Steady Beat, Fuzzy Bass, Muted Guitar Chops, Low Organ]
Locked inside his tower
Surrounded by machines
Talking to reflections
Living in his dreams
Every wire connected
Every switch in place
Searching for the answer
To the human race
[Pre-Chorus]
[Snare Roll, Rising Synth, Layered Vocals]
One more spark
(One more scream)
One more broken laser beam
(One more cure)
One more lie
(One more reason not to die)
[Chorus]
[Full Band, Heavy Drums, Distorted Guitar, Choir Vocals]
Man, a mad scientist
(With an evil twist)
Man, a caged lab rat
(Us… imagine that)
Man, he pulls the strings
(Over everything)
Man, he lights the fuse
(Then we all lose)
[Instrumental Break]
[Organ Solo, Guitar Echoes, Mechanical Percussion]
[Verse 2]
[Beat Drops Back, Dark Piano, Pulsing Bass]
Working through the midnight
Under flashing lights
Drawing up equations
Building bigger fights
He says it is for progress
He says it is for peace
But every new invention
Makes the pressure increase
[Pre-Chorus]
[Building Tension, Cymbal Swells, Layered Harmony]
One more drug
(One more gun)
One more race that can’t be won
(One more wall)
One more war
(One more thing we’re fighting for)
[Chorus]
[Full Band Returns, Bigger Synths, Double Kick Drums]
Man, a mad scientist
(With an evil twist)
Man, a caged lab rat
(Us… imagine that)
Man, he breaks the chain
(Only to restrain)
Man, he sells the cure
(Then invents the plague)
[Bridge]
[Half-Time Beat, Dark Synth Drone, Whispered Vocals]
Inside the laboratory
Nobody hears the screams
Nobody sees the shadows
Hiding in the steam
The test tubes keep on breaking
The warning lights all glow
But nobody stops the madness
Because nobody wants to know
[Bridge Build]
[Drums Return, Rising Strings, Choir Swell]
Mad
(Not angry)
Mad
(Plain crazy)
Mad
(Still building)
Mad
(Still waiting)
[Guitar Solo]
[Wild Guitar Solo, Organ Stabs, Heavy Tom Drums]
[Final Chorus]
[Massive Chorus, Layered Vocals, Orchestra, Heavy Distorted Guitar]
Man, a mad scientist
(With an evil twist)
Man, a caged lab rat
(Us… imagine that)
Man, he owns the game
(But we’re not to blame)
Man, he shuts the door
(While we beg for more)
Man, a mad scientist
(Still inside his cage)
Man, a mad scientist
(Writing history’s page)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro, Fading Organ, Siren Synth, Slow Heartbeat Percussion]
Mad
(Not angry)
Mad
(Plain crazy)
Sad
(All’s going hazy)
The mad scientist
(Twist)
[Fade Out]
