---

There's a scream at midnight

Of a child whose time has come

With a beauty so fresh and new

Just twenty years she'd just begun

Now the hour is coming strong

Only to crush the innocent ones

Crimes of passion and pleasure

The reasons for what is done

[Pre-Chorus]

Hear it echo thru the stages

Voice of Sanity

[Chorus]

As it's flowing thru your mind

Let it bring you pain

Rivers turning blood red

Let it drain your brain

Looking from the hindsight

Of a world no longer strong

Thinking you are protected

You don't realize you're sadly wrong

You can walk the straight line

But that straight line will be gone

The voice is always watching

and soon you will sing its sweet song

Hear it echo thru the stages

Voice of Sanity

As it's flowing thru your mind

Let it bring you pain

Rivers turning blood red

Let it drain your brain

As you see the new dawn

And praise the safety of lighted day

Just like the young child

We must all have a price to pay

And if we're all mad

Sanity is for who to say

When the voice calls us

We must all heed and come out to play

Hear it echo thru the stages

Voice of Sanity

As it's flowing thru your mind

Let it bring you pain

Rivers turning blood red

Let it drain your brain
