A Mad Shade of Yellow Lyrics


Malice –– Madness

Heartlessness - Cowardice

Color their eyes and skin

Yellow

When I

Cannot sleep, I take it out on thee;

Your foaming mouths don't mean a thing to me.

You'll die and I won't be around to see-

Your suffering can't move a nerve in me.

By the time you are unfeeling

And I hear your father's wailing;

Midway 'twixt this earth and Eden,

Tell His spawn

That you were always

Mine

Know me by their jaundiced eyes

A portent of the times

And fond hearts duly necrotized

The Mad One's alibi

When I

Set my gaze upon this kingdom mine

My pleasure and your pain intertwine-

Then ecstasy so deep sets in

Arch my back and sing his name again.

By the time I am unfeeling,

He bides his time in waiting

As time passes on a vessel,

Ever-patient is

The yellow

Sign

Arms out-stretched, feelers seize the mind

A portent of the times

And fond hearts duly necrotized

Have you

Seen

The yellow

Sign
