about

Veil Scar was a rock opera written in 1980. The original song "Veil Scar" was recorded by Jules Hanon in 1992 for the 'Family Jules' album.

I decided to break up that song into 2 parts. I chose the first part and the 3rd part to re-record. This is what is now part 1 of Veil Scar.

lyrics

Who is the madman when he’s riding on a star
Who is the madman with the bomb inside his car
Tell me who are the madmen who are lost at sea
Well it ain’t me; it ain’t me

Who is the madman when he’s sad and all alone
Who is the madman when he’s to fight to keep his own
Tell me who are these madmen who keep us all below
They just want to let us know where we belong

They took my knife away and they burned all my belongings
And no chance to say 'cause of the fighting and the brawling
With my mind at stake I couldn’t start to know it
Finally got the right way to play and my agent said he sold it

Who is the madman who accepts the way things are
Who is the madman who lives life from afar
Tell me who are the madman who choose not to see
In the land of the free – It's not me

I got my money made; placed it near my grave
Have I come this far to be a slave of hate
Realize the safety of your ideal world
Don’t let it take you down beyond what you have earned

Who Is the madman who has thrown away the star
Who is the madman who keeps children in a jar
Tell me who are these madmen who think they own you and I
We need to unify if we are to survive
