Charismatic Maniac - You couldn't look him in the eye, but you couldn't look away. He had a certain maniacal smile that made you want to stay. And when he spoke your mind awoke. And when he screamed your ears would bleed. Your ears would bleed, but you'd believe. And so we lived in fear so that we could hear. We heard his new ideas. We battled through the tears. He told us what to say. He told us when to kneel and pray. He taught us how to salute. He showed us total resolute. So the apocalypse came and went. Our leader has been heaven sent, or hell bound, depends on your point of view. We're lost again, so what's new?
