Nightmare

A lifetime of sorrow

in a blink of an eye

Echoes through the valley of pain

It screams and it runs

As it claims countless lives

It crawls through your heart and in your veins

And again

I hear you scream tonight

But my friend

You can turn off the lights

We run and we hide

In a world that needs some light

We burn and we kill all through the night

There's only one way

That is set within your mind

Yet you need to prove yourself right

And again

I hear you scream tonight

But my friend

You can turn off the lights

And in your sleep

You'll die

Again, this is the kind of song nobody really gets, until you explain it to them. But sometimes you need to make up your own meaning for a song. Sometimes you need to relate in your own way. So, I'm gonna leave it up to you to decide what this song is all about. By the way, if you haven't picked up that the name is only a metaphor, please go tell yourself that you don't know anything and that you've wasted a whole lot of money and time trying to educate yourself!! ;)
