I've come down here one last time a few times A few times after that, well that was just for old time's sake And I know I've come down here a few times For no good reason at all But this time I swear I'm just down here by mistake I'll quit drinking for the reason I started drinking When it makes me feel better than I already do From rags to riches to rags To richly embellished accounts of the truth Ascending into madness Rest in chaos my old friend May you ascend I sang you my song and then another not knowing If I gave you a choice you'd make it It will hit you just like dying some say Or even worse if you're able to take it You're ascending into madness Rest in chaos my old friend May you ascend Into madness The dead had been around this block a few times more than you had A few times more than we all had well before it was even paved And they say upon the Sea of Hypnocracy That the shore is just another wave [Chorus[ Ascending into madness Rest in chaos my old friend May you ascend Into madness Rest in chaos my old friend
