Chopin's Nightmare Lyrics

I've seen earth suffocate unto final agony

A requiem's sanctity, formaldehyde sea

Life passed me by as impromptu fantasy

Marche Funèbre from my reliquary

Hearkening to find, reality or mind?

Is this death, or have I gone blind?

Telltale is heartbeat, coffined, confined

Paralyzed in sanity's silent unwind

What if I had mentioned

The horrors I've conceived?

Faint pounding of soil

Tormentors: the bereaved

Nocturne's negation

Vivisection salvation

Four-chambered anxiety

A prelude to eternity

Eternity, go

I've seen God, one who has since abandoned me

Could such anguish truly be of His decree?

Polonaise and waltz in this game of psyche

I've composed the soundtrack to my mortality

Woefully entombed, not to be exhumed

Ruin has befallen, erroneously assumed

Terminal opus, concerto for the doomed

By gravest of my fears, this life has been consumed

What if I had mentioned

To rip my core from me?

Faint pounding of soil

Étude for incapacity

This is my nightmare come true

This is my nightmare come true

Nocturne's negation

Vivisection salvation

Four-chambered anxiety

A prelude to eternity

Four-chambered anxiety

A prelude

To eternity, go
