Running round in circles
Trying to make sense of
All the voices speaking to me deep inside my mind
Creepy little voices
Can't understand them
Should I make it known to them that I'm one of a kind?

They say I'm a genius
Bound by a madness
I say its a fallacy to try to understand
Writing in the notebook
What is my next move?
Show them I'm a lunatic, completely fucking mad!

Late that night I spun my fate
With a plan so full of darkness and hate
In a world so believing, I'm so deceiving
Power, shall be mine once more!

CHORUS:
Under the veil of madness
I can't see my soul anymore
Lost in the darkness
Far from home
At the stroke of midnight
You will see within my mind
And I am hollow
I am hollow
Somewhere lost in a dream world 
I'll find peace in the dark 
On that day my blood will turn to stone and I'll be hollow
For the last time!

Never again to be alone
Me and myself, soul to soul
The veil of madness covers it all
The evil in my wicked soul
The darkness in the prison below

Every single night they try to torment me
Telling me that what I'm doing isn’t wrong at all
Sabotage my endgame
Not anymore sir!
Get away with murder make it look like I’m insane
Standing in the docks I try to remember
Was it all a dream or did I really slit his throat?
Swearing on the bible, I am not liable
Cut my brain in two and you will see they’re not the same

Late one night I did conspire
To become what you most least desire
I’m alone in the starlight
Shadowed by the moonlight
Hollow
Now I rise once more!

CHORUS

The Courtroom:
You have been brought before this court
Charged with murder so grave
Ten thousand and seventy-five counts
How do you plead?
Guilty. Guilty!! GUILTY!!!

- I am not guilty of mercifully ending their lives.

This court finds you guilty of murder so vile
and callous and devoid of all remorse
Death is the only recourse.
To pay penance for all of your sins.
With a rope 'round your neck you will swing.
And an endless peace we shall bring

Death. Death is merely a blessing.
Not yet meant for me
I am never going to come quietly.
Not at all good sir.
But before I go -
I will reveal to you all why
my grand master plan for greatness
simply cannot fail.

The Act:
I am a death anthropologist
A maniac and exhibitionist
And maybe if you believe in all of this
Then maybe you’ll just look the other way…

You are the judges of my demise
A truly despisable sea of eyes
But maybe if you believe in all the lies
Then maybe you’ll just look the other way

I am a murder philanthropist
A death and destruction economist
And maybe if you believe in all of this
Then maybe you’ll just look the other way…
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAA

BRIDGE 3
This whole tale will soon unfold
With an excerpt from the Pages of Gold
I’ll stay here in the starlight
Darkness my delight
Hollow.
Now I run from death!

CHORUS

Under the veil of madness
I can't find my soul anymore
I am lost in the darkness
So far from home

I cry in the night from sorrow
I am hollow
I can't live with all this pain I feel inside anymore
So once more my blood will turn to stone and I'll be hollow
I'll be hollow
I am hollow
For the last time!
