Wake Up

The day ends and the sun falls
The darkness begins to set in
As the music begins to die

In the silence your mind relaxes
Your body lays as you start to sleep
Behind closed eyes you begin to dream 

Now nothing is as it seems
What can you face in this place
Don't worry it's all in your dreams

Everything bad you remember returns
All the scars in your mind are cuts again
Sleeping but this pain is not a delusion

The pain begins to get worse
Now imagining things yet to happen
But I don't know what tomorrow holds

The dream is now a nightmare
Worse than anything ever before
This night has turned into torture

Wake up!!

I must escape this curse
This Pain of Night
