Night Terrors Lyrics

The night beckons me

Distress within the sheets

Oh, irony

I come here for rest but I'm stricken of peace

In twilight, they're awakened

Their shrouds become undone

Within my psyche, escaped

With no sight of the sun

So Father take my hands and block my eyes

For I'd rather they be burned in Hell than I

Revelations of myself that I despise

Into deepened slumber, they arise

Messages wished undelivered

Thoughtless temper-fueled decisions

Deception by lust envisioned

Actions of selfish intention

Demons dwell within me

Dormant, yet they dictate

In rest, their hopes come alive

I toss and turn, unable to slumber

My conscience and my desires asunder

The night beckons me

Distress within the sheets

Oh, irony

I come here for rest but I'm stricken of peace

Oh, irony

It's as if thoughts I've tried to hide

Are now depicted through subconscious

Stimulated visions of their darkness

I've lost all control

What is the essence of guilt?

Who's plaything am I?

Set flame to all that I've built

For it was only for I

Only for I

The night beckons me

Distress within the sheets

Oh, irony

I come here for rest but I'm stricken of peace

These devils within me perturbing my sleep
