Madness
Frank London and Glen Berger

The Recluse:

Madness comes

When faith in Him

Begins to dim

Madness comes

When doubts about G-d's plan

For every beast and man

Creeps in

This is the greatest sin

You soul imbued by G-d with light

You've traded for the murk of night


The Badkhn:

Delusion comes

When faith in Him

Fills past the brim

Delusion comes

For piety and holy deeds

Are sure to breed conceit within

How can I help but grin?

The Recluse with a bear he's trained

Can't see his work's been all in vain.


The Recluse:

For too many days my life was full

I maybe had a minute every month for shul

But though my ledger book was in the black

My soul was as empty as an empty sack

I wandered through the wilderness, in dung I trod

Then I seized my desires and bound them to G-d

And it's as if I saw for the very first time... the sun!

Now I devote my days to the Almighty One!


The Badkhn:

Rend your garments and stomp about

Beat your breast demonstrating you're devout

Toss bread in a river to remove your sins

Go dizzy with your dawn and dusk davening

Atone, ablute, to Jerusalem crawl

To shove a piece of paper in the Wailing Wall

Repent til you're blue, but one day you'll find

That the world still is dreck, and you've lost your mind


The Recluse: You think the one solution


The Recluse and The Badkhin: Is a call for revolution!


The Recluse: It's revolting!


The Badkhn: Yes! Revolting! That's my plan exactly, sir!


The Recluse: What an execreble notion, what we need is more devotion.



The Badkhn: More devotion


Both: to the G-d, who has bestowed upon us this


The Recluse:

This world that's so deserving of our praise

Prayer sir, is hastening the end of days


The Badkhn:

This farce that never ceases to amaze

Overthrowing G-d will bring the end of days


Both, at once:

For too many days my life was full

I maybe had a minute every month for shul

But though my ledger book was in the black

My soul was as empty as an empty sack

I wandered through the wilderness, in dung I trod

Then I seized my desires and bound them to G-d

And it's as if I saw for the very first time... the sun! now I devote my days to the Almighty One!


Rend your garments, stomp about

Beat your breast demonstrating you're devout

Rend your garments, stomp about

Beat your breast demonstrating you're devout

Toss bread to remove your sins

Go dizzy with your dawn and dusk davening

Repent and ablute, but one day you'll find

That the world still is dreck, and you've lost your mind


The Recluse: You're mad!


The Badkhn: I'm mad as hell! This much I know


The Recluse: I know this won't end prettily


Both: You'll see the final word's with


Recluse: Me


Badkhn: Me,


Both: Me


Badkhin: Me! Me.


Recluse: Me!


Badkhn: That's right, me.
