Nightmare lyrics

Nightmare!

(Now your nightmare comes to life)

Dragged ya down below

Down to the devil's show

To be his guest forever

(Peace of mind is less than never)

Hate to twist your mind

But God ain't on your side

And old acquaintance severed

(Burn the world your last endeavor)

Flesh is burning

You can smell it in the air

Cause men like you have

Such an easy soul to steal (steal)

So stand in line while

They ink numbers in your head

You're now a slave

Until the end of time here

Nothing stops the madness,

Turning, haunting, yearning

Pull the trigger

You should have known

The price of evil

And it hurts to know

That you belong here, yeah

Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare

(While your nightmare comes to life)

Can't wake up in sweat

'Cause it ain't over yet

Still dancing with your demons

(Victim of your own creation)

Beyond the will to fight

Where all that's wrong is right

Where hate don't need a reason

(Loathing self-assassination)

You've been lied to

Just to rape you of your sight

And now they have the nerve

To tell you how to feel (feel)

So sedated as they

Medicate your brain

And while you slowly

Go insane they tell ya

"Given with the best intentions

Help you with your complications"

You should have known

The price of evil

And it hurts to know

That you belong here, yeah

No one to call

Everybody to fear

Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah

Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare

Fight (fight)

Not to fail (fail)

Not to fall (fall)

Or you'll end up like the others

Die (die)

Die again (die)

Drenched in sin (sin)

With no respect for another

Oh

Down (down)

Feel the fire (fire)

Feel the hate (hate)

Your pain is what we desire

Lost (lost)

Hit the wall (wall)

Watch you crawl (crawl)

Such a replaceable liar

And I know you hear their voices

Calling from above

And I know they may seem real

These signals of love

But our life's made up of choices

Some without appeal

They took for granted your soul

And it's ours now to steal

(As your nightmare comes to life)

You should have known

The price of evil

And it hurts to know

That you belong here, yeah

No one to call

Everybody to fear

Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah

Ooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare
