Madness Speak of Your Name

Madness speaks of your name in the street
Spread the mat of foolishness on the  roads
Let your blood cackle from yesterday's pain
The aroma of lustful lost shall follow behind
Million legs await the treasure of insanity 
Which feasted in your sanity before the mourners.
We couldn't talk because madness was talking
And he called your names among the Heartened 
In a white lie was your names registered 
And motionless air visited and took them away.
