Metal Church Madman's Overture Lyrics:
[K. Vanderhoof]

I never was a man of wonder, nothing special in my
eyes Pedestrian of common streets, an angel in
disguise A childhood spent as any other, any other
child Would bring a great divide, and now these
worlds collide Now that many years have passed,
these dreams intensify, no tools I use, no crystal
ball Yet I'm still mystified Those sleepless
nights by candlelight, in a room without a view A
voice I could not hear, it told me, "Write it
down you fool" It spoke to me of many things
no language can explain, I grabbed my crucifix
left hanging by it's golden chain Never in my
wildest dreams, conceive of what I heard, I filled
the well with ink and began writing every word...

in the night I've seen the mountains crumbling,
the masses running scared, I wrote it down to warn
you all but you laughed and no one cared You wrote
it down in riddles, no one could understand, I'll
lead you to your padded room You prophet-crazy man
Please hear me and heed every word that I've said,
if you kill me You'll be the one's who'll be
dead... dead and gone Your locks and your bars,
will hide all my scars, but you'll never leave
this place Not til you open your eyes and your
ears, can you make sense of the things that you
fear? And all that you've heard, it sounds so
absurd, I'll never speak again Not til you open
your eyes and your ears, this world shall pass
away Withdrawn from reality, I stare into space,
little did they know I held the answers to their
fate I didn't write in riddles, now you must
understand, someday you... oh never mind I'm just
a crazy man They say I'm just a madman, am I just
a madman, I feel I'm just a madman...
