One step, then another Adrenalin flowing Height gained, summit nearing Destiny calling Chorus: Seeking perfection… It doesn’t have to be perfect to be the perfect day (x2) A sudden kiss, off centre Heartbeat racing A secret smile, a stolen glance Reality bracing Chorus A seed of an idea A blank canvas A brush stroke, then another A vision realised… Chorus

Blood sucking leeches, spawned from greed and hate Victoria values, pompous and out of date Avoiding questions, blaming everyone else Lying and misleading to fatten up their wealth Chorus: Watch them pick the flesh from the poor – like carrions crows Watch then lick the bones of the poor – carrion crows Ancient words written on parchment deemed as lore Religion that’s an industry, rotten to the core Brainwashed brainless, try to brainwash the meek Prospect of paradise they lure the sad and weak. Chorus: Watch them pick the flesh from the lost – like carrions crows Watch then lick the bones of the lost – carrion crows Show footage of a starving child, Take advantage of people’s kindness Make millions from charities Their sincerity is kind-less… Chorus: Watch them pick the flesh from the kind – like carrions crows Watch then lick the bones of the kind – carrion crows

This is the world Soldiers shovelled into the furnace of war Silver spoon man moans about life Profits break new records, while the old die of the cold Single mother starves herself to feed her child This is the world we created We could have done so much more This is the world we created We should have done so much more The ill stuck on hospital corridors for days People beaten and killed cos of sexual preference Pharmacy corporations charging millions for life People wanting change, scorned by ignorance. This is the world we created We could have done so much more This is the world we created We should have done so much more We could have fed the world, We could have ended all disease Shared our hopes and dreams United the world Saved the ozone layer, Stopped the rising tides Maybe created world peace But paranoia … Greed and fear Dug in deep Crushed the world Strangled dreams This is the world we created We could have done so much more Money and profit became an obsession We should have done so much more

The Other Side The pages of life move ever forward There’s no flicking back in time Memories of the past sometime haunt us Past endeavours sometimes bad, sometimes fine You get lost in a moment It’s sometimes hard to shake it out You get swallowed whole Until you come out the other side… The other side Sometimes ruts can grow so deep It’s near impossible to ascend Fear and uncertainty can keep us within Some of us never get out that rut again You get fixed on the same path Awake, but sleeping and controlled Swallowed and consumed Until you come out the other side… The other side I stop and stare over the rim, I dig my feet into the sides The edge is brittle, soft to touch But I tentatively pull myself up I hold on tight, try to scramble through Just let me scramble through to the other side

False Gods 06:20
False Gods All the false gods, baying for your love Like vampires absorbing your blood Man made deities built from obsession Their fame and glory is an addiction To the false god revere and pray Every night and every day Put them on a pedestal way up high To give some meaning for your sorry lives Worshipped – for kicking a ball Worshipped – for singing a song Worshipped – for acting well Worshipped – for being a celeb And fame becomes that drug For those who let it They need the constant fix And seek out ways to get it Even though their time has come And they are just Shrivelled up Has beens We are all just specks of dust Floating insignificantly Just a grain of sand On an eternal beach Those we worship just don’t matter You don’t matter, I don’t matter The world will go on and on Even when you are no longer taking the trip So, fuck those false gods And summon up the power within Within yourselves…
7.
Fracture Lullaby Eyes watching you, watching me Scrutinising our every move They call it keeping us safe But I’m not too sure about that Like a fractured lullaby At what point did common sense die The world is cracked, beaten and broken Like a fractured lullaby Ears listening, always There seems to be no getting away They inject the worry and the fear Hell, they’ve been doing it for years Everyone is a police man Policing fellow man High and mighty, finger pointing Cos they feel they can…
8.
Sentinel 07:13
Sentinel I have stood here for many years Witnessed laughter, witnessed tears I’ve sheltered people from storms or sun Statements of love are etched upon my skin Sentinel – guardian of the world I stand proud, have for so long Feeling this existence will never end But now they want to tear me down To build new houses for the town The blade cuts deep within Tears fall heavy, along with my kin So, I fall to my doom The land I stood upon now my tomb Dead guardian of the world Forgotten guardian of the world…

Pandora’s Box Wake up, punch in on life 9 to 5 work servitude Micro managed, brow beaten Conned I to thinking we are free Bring down the doors of oppression Fight for what you believe Ignore those who wish to mock you You deserve to be free Pandora’s box smash right open Spreading chaos all around Disease and death; violence and greed Fear and evil was abound And hope… Right the wrongs Sing the songs Write the fiction Fight the friction Stand tall Answer the call Fight for change Re-arrange

about

Welcome to Madrigals of Madness the fourth album by Wolf’s Night. For each album I like to feel there has been progression and I think for this one I am really getting to be where I want Wolf’s Night to be. Those of you who had heard the other albums will notice the drums on this album so much better (than the last two at least), more energetic and varied. Also, some of the tunes that have already have been released on Sound Cloud have been re-mixed here to a better sound. Everything about this album was written and produced by me and I am so darn proud!

Hope you enjoy it. Tell your friends!


For Dad.
