Pavor Nocturnus
Not knowing any more if I'm dreaming when asleep or sleeping while awake
but there are horrors in my head I cannot take
Nightmares unfold in velvet a shadow
Following me wherever I go
The last embers of another dying day
Unavoidable sleep coming to carry me away
Feel the all too familiar terrors draw near
My moonlit hell will soon be here
In absolute darkness the mind will twist and spin
The soul dissolves in infinite delirium
Freedom of consciousness gone with my last waking breath
Into this black hole lost in time, as in death
Lawless darkness creeps within
Night comes closer, dark as sin
Feel the unspeakable loneliness. Emptiness.
The wrench of parting with consciousness
Twisting and turning
Silent screams as my soul is burning
Heart pounding like the drums of war
I cannot take this any more
In the deepest, darkest corners of the mind
Madness begins to unwind
Trapped in a terror so real I cannot breathe
Can't run or scream. I cannot leave
Twisting and turning
Silent screams as my soul is burning
Heart pounding like the drums of war
I cannot take this any more
In absolute darkness the mind will twist and spin
The soul dissolves in infinite delirium
Freedom of consciousness gone with my last waking breath
Into this black hole lost in time, as in death
