Christopher Esse - History of Madness Lyrics

He sought to restore reason and rule
In a system detached from morals and truth
We marched to his beat, readied for war
To kill or be killed, to do something more

Hold your fire, don't shoot at the rich
I've come to my senses - a revelation, he said
We must rebuild our tangled estate
Using digital minds to reverse our fate

Doe-re-mi, down we go
He's too far away, miss him so
Who can bring us back, back to Doe
History of madness, history of madness

Nothing has changed as we look back
Madness prevails in this year and that
The cruel reign of commerce, the status of quo
Stoking the fires of social discord

Where are the heroes, and where is the will
The waves have crashed and yet the water is still
John, can you hear us? There's no kingdom come
We're not going anywhere till your work is done

Doe-re-mi, down we go
He's too far away, miss him so
Who can bring us back, back to Doe
History of madness, history of madness
