Go on, yes, he must go on
For there isn´t any choice
Just a chord out of tune comes out from his voice

Alone, oh, he walks alone
For no one would understand
If they only knew he'd be forever banned

A solitary man among the crowd lost among the crowd
Keeping alive, keeping unbound

Madman in chains, madman in chains
Corrosive sorrow flows in his veins

Insane – labelled as insane
In the life he left behind
In the maze of despair where he was confined

He shall not be once again imprisoned, never locked again
For his mental state, his sick vision

Madman in chains, madman in chains
Corrosive sorrow flows in his veins
Madman in chains, madman in chains
Fatal tomorrow that his mind strains

And his face wears the mask of sanity, mask of sanity
His mind carries the curse, the profanity

Madman in chains, madman in chains
Corrosive sorrow flows in his veins
Madman in chains, madman in chains
Fatal tomorrow that his mind strains
