Nightmare

Prelude

Silent moon, witness the lies

Soft ashes falling on blacken-lined eyes

Lost in the hollow where promises sleep

Shadows gather in corners so deep

One voice whispers, broken and low

Another answers, echo of snow

We linger, untouched by the sun

Bound to the silence, the damage is done

Verse 1

Ice

Frozen under

Your black leather heels

I saw the truth behind the lace

Cold skin

Waking up

To find you standing there

Verse 2

Grey

Hopeless grey

Blood on your collar

Salt in the open wound

Stung

Hungry for the hurt you give

I am falling

Down

Deep down

Below the surface

Beneath the heavy soil

Chorus

You are not a dream

You are not a dream

You are a nightmare

Clawing at the door

Dragging on the floor

You are a nightmare

Post-Chorus

No no

Not a dream

Not a dream

Nightmare

Verse 3

Locked

Double bolted

Iron bars on the window

Still I hear your hollow laugh

Sharp

Blades of silver

Cutting through the heavy silk

I tried

I hoped

I died a little

Watching the candle burn out

Chorus

You are not a dream

You are not a dream

You are a nightmare

Clawing at the door

Dragging on the floor

You are a nightmare

Bridge

The clock stops ticking

The breath stops coming

The heart stops beating

I hear you

I see you

I feel you

Tearing the veil apart

Guitar Solo

Chorus

You are not a dream

You are not a dream

You are a nightmare

Clawing at the door

Dragging on the floor

You are a nightmare

Outro

Sleeping eyes open

Now I see

What you are

Just a nightmare

Just a nightmare

Go away

Go away

Go away
