LYRICS: He's crawling out from the asylum Under cover of the night. Insanity of his crazy mind It's useless for you now to hide. Walking the streets someone's in sight He's waiting for you in the night. Hiding in the alleys He's ready to kill tonight So lock your doors and hide And pray your god 'cause you're not alone Years he spent in the cage They did not help him at all. Now today with the power of his cage He's slaughtering people tonight. Walking the streets someone's in sight He's waiting for you in the night. Hiding in the alleys He's ready to kill tonight So lock your doors and hide And pray your god 'cause your're not alone Madness strikes at midnight Madness Strikes at night Madness strikes at midnight Madness Strikes at night So lock your doors and hide And pray your god 'cause your're not alone Madness strikes at midnight Madness Strikes at night Madness strikes at midnight Madness Strikes at night Madness strikes at midnight Madness Strikes at night Madness strikes at midnight Madness Strikes at night *************************************************
