Nightmare 01:01
(Now your nightmare comes to life) 01:05
Dragged you down below, down to the devil's show 01:10
To be his guest forever (peace of mind is less than never) 01:13
Hate to twist your mind, but God ain't on your side 01:18
An old acquaintance severed (burn the world, your last endeavor) 01:21
Flesh is burning, you can smell it in the air 01:25
'Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal (steal) 01:27
So stand in line while they ink numbers in your head 01:32
You're now a slave until the end of time here 01:35

You should have known the price of evil 01:41

Ooh, it's your f-in' nightmare 01:56
(While your nightmare comes to life) 02:02
Can't wake up in sweat 'cause it ain't over yet 02:07
Still dancing with your demons (victim of your own creation) 02:11
Beyond the will to fight, where all that's wrong is right 02:15
Where hate don't need a reason (loathing self-assassination) 02:18
You've been lied to just to rape you of your sight 02:22
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel (feel) 02:25
So sedated as they medicate your brain 02:29

Lyrics:

[English]

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)

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 (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 f-in' 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 you

"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 f-in' 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 f-in' nightmare
