The blackness of night
swallows me whole.
dark and empty,
Just like my soul.
Moonless skies
leave unseeing eyes...
your cold hands are gripping me.
***** and dark,
your earthly smell.
Fingers dug deep,
come to drag me to hell.
Twisting and turning,
my flesh begins burning.
I open my mouth to scream..
Cry out in pain,
every night is the same.
Wake up.
It's only a dream.

The blackness of night
swallows me whole.
dark and empty,
Just like my soul.
Moonless skies
leave unseeing eyes...
your cold hands are gripping me.
***** and dark,
your earthly smell.
Fingers dug deep,
come to drag me to hell.
Twisting and turning,
my flesh begins burning.
I open my mouth to scream..
Cry out in pain,
every night is the same.
Wake up.
It's only a dream.
