Nightmare by From Ashes to New

 

Nightmare

Now your nightmare comes to life

Dragged you down below, down to the devil's show

To be his guest forever, peace of mind is less than never

I hate to twist your mind, but God ain't on your side

An 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

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've known the price of evil

And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah

Oh, it's your fucking 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

So sedated as they medicate your brain

And while you slowly go insane they tell you:

"Given with the best intentions, help you with your complications"

You should've 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 fucking nightmare

Fight, not to fail, not to fall

Or you'll end up like the others

Die, die again, drenched in sin

With no respect for another

Down, feel the fire, feel the hate

Your pain is what we desire

Lost, hit the wall, watch you 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've 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

Oh, it's your fucking nightmare
