LYRICS:
VERSE:
drowning deep in my sea of loathing
broken your servant i kneel
(will you give in to me)
it seems what’s left of my human side is slowly changing in me
(will you give in to me)
looking at my own reflection
when suddenly it changes
violently it changes
there is no turning back now
you’ve woken up the demon in me
CHORUS:
get up, come on get down with the sickness
open up your hate and let it flow in to me
get up, come on get down with the sickness
you mother get up, come on get down with the sickness
you f*%ker get up, come on get down with the sickness
madness is the gift that has been given to me
VERSE 2:
i can see inside you the sickness is rising
don’t try to deny what you feel
(will you give in to me)
it seems that all that was good has died
and is decaying me
(will you give in to me)
it seems you’re having some trouble
in dealing with these changes
living with these changes
the world is a scary place
now that you’ve woken up the demon in me
OUTRO:
madness has now come over me
