[Verse 1]
I close my eyes, started dreaming
See a vision filled with wings headin' my way
I feel the presence of unknown power
Telling me to come, this is the only way
[Chorus]
It's a dream within a dream
Lost and lonely
Don't be fooled by the devil's hand
Oh no
[Verse 2]
Silent screamer filled with fear
As the night time shapes a face then disappears
Scared forever into believing
That your mind has met the prince of whom you see
[Chorus]
It's a dream within a dream
Lost and lonely
Don't be fooled by the devil's hand
Oh no
It's a dream within a dream
Lost forever
Don't be fooled by the devil
Oh no
*Sinister laughing*
[Bridge]
In your eyes the evil spirit arises
Blinded by the dark, you fall into shame
As the reaper takes you down the spiral stairway
You share the evil pit with Satan's name
Nightmare, it's got me runnin'
Nightmare, it's calling you
Nightmare, it's got me runnin'
Nightmare, it's calling you
[Chorus]
It's a dream within a dream
Lost and lonely
Don't get fooled
By the devil
It's a dream within a dream
Lost forever
Don't be fooled by the devil
[Outro]
It's got me running
It's just a nightmare
It's got me running
It's got me running
You'll wake up in dreams...
