The Nightmare Mind Lyrics

Born in the throes of a Nightmare Mind

Where Shadows twist and ties unwind

Chained in the Labyrinth, lost within

To a place of Darkness, born of sin!

Screams echo from the Furthest Deep

In the Nightmare Mind, where the Horrors seep!

A consciousness split, a world askew

A churning tempest, tormented brew!

Yet in the Blackest Night, there hides a Light

Burning fierce and burning bright!

Through the terror, through anguish, and through the pain

Through the storm, through wind and through rain

An inner beast rages black and wild

In the mind of the frightened child!

Taking control, it wears my face

In the Mirror, a Stranger takes my place!

A silent scream, a hollowed-out laugh

Caught in the grip of the Nightmare's wrath!

Yet, even in this dread, a seed of hope

A sliver of Light, the slenderest rope!

And in the Nightmare's Core, I find something more

A strength I had not ever known before!

Through the Shadows, through all my fear

A beacon of hope, growing ever so near!

Beneath the terror, beneath the fright

Lies a power, burnin' bright!

A strength of Spirit, a force of will

A heart that's beating, beating still!

The beast within, I slowly tame

In the Nightmare Mind, I stake my claim!

From the Shadows, a Light revealed

In the heart of Darkness, my Fate is sealed!

From the depths of despair, I rise anew

The Nightmare Mind, I've journeyed through!

From terror's grip, I've broken free

In the Mirror, I see only me!

From the Nightmare Mind, into the Light

Emerging victorious from the fight!
