Nightmare
(Tossing and turning
Consumed by my fear
There's no escape
I'm trapped here)
The rest of sleep is broken
There's nothing you can do
It comes every night
There is no peace for you
You're in a nightmare
Horror in your sleeping shell
No release shall come
You cannot leave your hell
(My father's hands
Are clutching my throat
I try and fight
But the cycle is rote)
You lay yourself to rest
Cyclically, it comes again
Terror eats away at you
Clawing at you from within
Trapped inside yourself
No hope for the light
Nothing can save you
In your unseen plight
(A whip cracks in the air)
You're screaming out!
(My body is burning)
How flush is your flesh!
(Icy daggers pierce my skull)
Chilling shakes, wracking your body!
(His eyes in the darkness)
Lay still now, my friend!
(Damnation burning toward me)
(solo)
Please, wake up!
(There's no escape)
Oh God, please wake!
(There is no hope)
Wake up!
(I'm trapped here)
You're trapped!
(In my...)
[simultaneous]
Nightmare!
(Nightmare)
