Generate meaning
1
The fuse is set and checked once more
2
Then left beside a back street door
3
And in the cold gray light, someone sees a shadow
4
Run through the night and out of sight
5
They hide inside a smoke filled room
6
To hear at last the blast of doom
7
And so the deed is done, they listen
8
To the final countdown begun, three, two, one
9
Madness, it's a kind of madness
10
That turns good men bad
11
And we're helpless, caught up
12
In the madness of a world gone mad
13
The roar of fire rings out on high
14
And flames light up the black night sky
15
A child screams out in fear, a hopeless cry for help
16
But no one is near enough to hear
17
As walls collapse and timbers flare
18
The smell of death hangs in the air
19
When help at last arrives they try to fight the flame
20
But nothing survives of all those lives
21
And it's madness, every time a victim dies
22
There is madness, burning in a blind man's eyes
23
And it's madness, hidden in the hate and pain
24
There is madness, burning in a wild man's brain
25
And it's madness, every time the bullets start
26
There is madness, burning in a poor man's heart
27
And it's madness, something that we can't control
28
There is madness, burning in a madman's soul, madness
