TRACK 11: THE WAKING NIGHTMARE
CREATURE:
ALL THAT I KNOW... ALL I REMEMBER
RIPPED BY THE KNIFE, I AM TORN FROM MY SLEEP
THERE WERE NO DREAMS... NO TORTURED MEMORIES
ONLY A SILENCE ETERNAL AND BLISSFULLY DEEP
AM I ALIVE OR IN PURGAT'RY? AM I INSANE?
WHAT IS THIS ANIMAL GNAWING INSIDE OF MY BRAIN?
WHAT DO THEY FEAR? WHY AM I HUNTED?
WHO IS THIS STRANGER INSIDE OF MY SKIN?
BROKEN AND SCARRED... CHARRED LIKE AN EMBER
AM I CONDEMNED THOUGH I CANNOT REMEMBER MY SIN?
WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE SUCH A SENTENCE IN HELL?
BORN AS A DEMON, A GHOUL FROM A NIGHTMARE,
YET ONE WHO STILL SUFFERS AND SCARS LIKE A HUMAN AS WELL
NOW HERE I STAND... HALF OF A MAN
WONDERING WHY I DRAW BREATH
I'M HERE IN THE WAKING NIGHTMARE
AND EVERY MOMENT TASTES OF DEATH
HORDE:
YOU'RE A BEAST TO BE FEARED
DO NOT DARE TO DRAW NEAR
YOU'RE AN OBJECT OF SHAME
WITHOUT SOUL OR A NAME
NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO
WILL DISGUISE WHAT IS TRUE
GOD HAS DAMNED YOU AT BIRTH
AND BY HEAVEN WE'LL TRACK YOU AND HAUNT YOU AND
BANISH YOUR SOUL FROM THIS EARTH
CREATURE:
LOST AND ALONE... COLDER THAN STONE
KNOWING SO DEEP IN MY BREAST
THAT HERE IN THE WAKING NIGHTMARE
AND WHATEVER HELL AWAITS THERE
YES, HERE IN THE WAKING NIGHTMARE
ALL I WILL FIND IS FEAR
AND ALL I'LL EVER HEAR
IS THE SCREAMS OF THEIR TERROR AND SCORN
WHILE EVERY MOMENT TASTES OF DEATH
