I was decaying for days Screaming like a mad man Released from his chains Tho I was in an overused one Made from the curse I fervently recited I would fall asleep sometimes But then the curse would snap And my wasting legs would want to run Yet, no strength in me, and so I would sing The cursed song, as it was all I knew My own stench was my poison Still, I couldn't have a bath For I was in a craze, praying and singing But in the calm of my sickness My clear eyes always darted for a candle And a match, and a paper with a pen I found them once, but my crazed soul Was dozing from the stupor of the curse I was decaying for days And I couldn't use a pen But I use it now In the calm of my madness

In the calm of my madness
I was decaying for days Screaming like a mad man Released from his chains Tho I was in an overused one Made from the curse I fervently recited I would fall asleep sometimes But then the curse would snap And my wasting legs would want to run Yet, no strength in me, and so I would sing The cursed song, as it was all I knew My own stench was my poison Still, I couldn't have a bath For I was in a craze, praying and singing But in the calm of my sickness My clear eyes always darted for a candle And a match, and a paper with a pen I found them once, but my crazed soul Was dozing from the stupor of the curse I was decaying for days And I couldn't use a pen But I use it now In the calm of my madness
