Iron Maiden - Can I Play with Madness Lyrics

Can I play with madness?

Give me the sense to wonder
To wonder if I'm free
Give me a sense of wonder
To know I can be me

Give me the strength to hold my head up
Spit back in their face
Don't need no key to unlock this door
Gonna break down the walls, break out of this bad place

Can I play with madness?
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness?
There's no vision there at all

Can I play with madness?
The prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness?
He said, you're blind, too blind to see

You're such a too blind to see

I screamed aloud to the old man
I said, don't lie don't say you don't know
I say, you pay for your this mischief
In this world or the next

Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance
And the hellfire raged in his eyes
He said, "Do you wanna know the truth son?
I'll tell you the truth, your souls gonna burn in a lake of fire"

Can I play with madness?
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness?
There's no vision there at all

Can I play with madness?
The prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness?
He said, you're blind too blind to see

Oh listen to me, he said a blind man to me

Can I play with madness?
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness?
There's no vision there at all

Can I play with madness?
The prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness?
He said you're blind, too blind to see
Can I play with madness?
