Monsters and Madmen
©9/2023 ~ Rebekkah Dreskin-Evans

Verse 1
Is there a monster lurking… under the bed, inside your head?
Is there a madman hiding… lying in wait, outside the gate?
What does darkness hide under its wings / when monsters and madmen sing?

Break 1 (on Chorus)
It’s a nightmare come true: Monsters & madmen - come for you.

Verse 2
You hear the screaming… is it out there? is it in here?
That’s when the nightmares… replace your dreams, terrible screams.
As demons & devils rise, sharp’ning their claws & knives,
Saints will cry & angels grieve - when monsters and madmen sing.

Pre-Chorus
When your worst nightmare has come true -
Monsters and madmen come for you – you – come for you.

CHORUS
Grab the babies. Hide the old Ladies.
Better cut. Better run, ‘cause you’re no match
For the flick of the blade, the terminal crazy
Or the jaws that bite and claws that catch.
No poet or priest, no campion or hero 
will offer salvation or come to your rescue.
You’ve got no friend, when monsters & madmen – come for you.

Verse #3
Something’s moving… under your skin – somewhere within.
Sleep with the light on… you can’t breathe. / You can’t win.
The shadow in the corner mocks you / for being alive.
As you feel the chill crawl slowly down your spine.

 
Pre-Chorus
When your worst nightmare has come true -
Monsters and madmen come for you – you – come for you.

CHORUS
Grab the babies. Hide the old Ladies.
Better cut. Better run, ‘cause you’re no match
For the flick of the blade, the terminal crazy
Or the jaws that bite & claws that catch.
No poet or priest, no campion or hero 
will offer salvation or come to your rescue.
You’ve got no friend, when monsters & madmen – come for you.

SOLO/Break

CHORUS
Grab the babies. Hide the old Ladies.
Better cut. Better run, ‘cause you’re no match
For the flick of the blade, the terminal crazy
Or the jaws that bite & claws that catch.
No poet or priest, no champion or hero
will offer salvation or come to your rescue.
You’ve got no friend, when monsters & madmen – come for you.

FINAL
Forget the babies! Forget the old ladies!
Just get the hell out before it’s too late!
The tapping gets louder. The breathing comes faster.
The closer it gets, the longer you wait.

It’s fight or freeze. It’s now or never.
Will you survive or be taken forever?
How much will you bleed, when monsters and madmen - come for you?
