Nightmares

A million unborn nightmares lay waiting for the time
Then, they'll become reality and take over this life of mine
Atlantis holds no base and could not come anywhere near
The dreams and visions I have, just to await the fear
On the purple glow of moonlight
The lonely face must dream
Only to wake up and tremble
Of all that was felt and seen
An obsession of a notion
Can't stop dwelling on one thought
One escape from the heart of fright
Uselessly, vainly sought


Cold sweats and uneasy feeling, like ghosts, gather round
Can't think of anything else when monsters lay the ground
A chilling laugh of a lunatic, claiming to be your own
Look into the depths of their eyes
Their heart made of stone
Seeing a smile as bright as the day turn into hateful sneer
Seeing all that's know just wave
As it sadly leaves me here
Unless you've had the dream, living in all of paradise
You'll never see the nightmare that's staring in your eyes...
