Nightmare Visions Songtext
von Epicenter

It′s here,
I feel it in the air,
Like a rusted dagger
Splitting me to pieces as it tears

What lets me see.
These creatures I conceive,
Cenobites of Hades' hand,
Cannot be demons that demand

My soul.
My skin begins to crawl;
I see faces in the walls
And hear the gnashing of their jaws.

Their claws,
Familiar bloody claws
Threaten to sever lines
Between my life and that which spawned of dreams.


Colors bleed into
Each other, lines become
Disfigured, and
Demented visions follow.

Helpless and vulnerable,
I am open for the kill
From any angle;
Never sleep again.

Fear is controlling me,
Derailing intuition,
Augmenting my reality,
Enslaved by nightmare visions.

Nightmare Visions
Nightmare Visions

Paralyzed
Here, where I lie,
Awaiting my demise.
There′s no escape.
If this is fate,
Mortality is mine.


A rush of blood
Straight to my head
Incites a panic,
Shooting needles down my spine.
I'll fight,
Struggle for my life and
Though I know I'll hold on tight,
The noose is ready by my side.

Flesh from bone,
Bludgeoning with rock and stone,
Bend my body ′till my
Spinal column snaps.

Melt and fry
From a gaze into its eyes,
Become a memory of
Something in the past.

Fear is controlling me,
Derailing intuition,
Augmenting my reality,
Enslaved by nightmare visions.

Nightmare Visions
Nightmare Visions

Flesh from bone,
Bludgeoning with rock and stone,
Bend my body ′till my
Spinal column snaps.

Melt and fry
From a gaze into its eyes,
Become a memory of
Something in the past.

Flay me wide,
Tear me open side to side,
Make a canvas
Of my ripped and tattered hyde.

Tossed aside
With the others that have died,
Decomposing in a grave
A mile wide.

Fear is controlling me,
Derailing intuition,
Augmenting my reality,
Enslaved by nightmare visions.
