about

The insanity of power is befuddling. The lengths it can carry its madness can sometimes be very harmful. I chose Caligula as the pattern for this insanity. But insanity can be found in the subtle layers in even our society. Look and you will see it.

NOTE: I use the Wilhelm Scream near the end of the song. This got Theodore, my dog, quite freaked out and he began barking so I recorded him for addition dramatic effective.

lyrics

Naked beauty befuddled mine sight I’m awakened
Common interrupted solitude lost in his face
Disfigured and demented languished by the silence
All relations are recalled; dependent on death
What virtue is this when it is emulsified by pity
After the madness Caligula dies

Leaving behind, tired, one hand is clapping
Ageless are the marks on the wall; is this creation?
Founded on sin which this empire is built on
Stops at nothing for without has become within
Gluttonous whore, inbred, cast to the demons
After the madness Caligula dies
