Lyrics

Nightmare/The Dreamtime

Lie back and dream of me

Red death to set you free

We turn the screw to make you die

Soft flesh and razor blades

Golgotha, ace of spades

Steel needles kiss your pretty eyes

All mine, all mine

Black night, moonshine

All mine, all mine

Nightmare, the dreamtime

Black terror stalks the night

Claws to clutch and fangs to bite

A dark and faceless crawling fear

Despair, you can't resist

Now feel the lizard's kiss

The reptile hissing in your ear

All mine, all mine

Black night, moonshine

All mine, all mine

Nightmare, the dreamtime

Dead voices speak through me

Of things that should not be

The prince of wounds

The lord of flies

Evil lives within ourselves

We need nobody else

We tell ourselves the best of lies

All mine, all mine

Black night, moonshine

All mine, all mine

Nightmare, the dreamtime

Nightmare, the dreamtime
