By the shores of the ageing sea Fools scream out destiny They speak of vengeance and your gods Into the fire – out of the flame The beast awakes – thousands are slain The mystic reads – forgotten tales All hallows hail – your falling waves Nightmare – this is your prize eternal Nightmare – make no disguise infernal Nightmare – you’ll realize you lost in Nightmare – Nightmare Inside explodes – the butcher strikes You’d love to die – your baby cries Lead candles burn – just a decoy The giant child – you’re his new toy In the eyes of the lion’s teeth Your flesh becomes his meat You lie devoured still full of life Temples of ice – white desert breeze The golden sun – prepares to freeze Dying of thirst – drowing in pain You wake in sleep – it starts again Nightmare Nightmare Nightmare
