Now your nightmare comes to life. Dragged you down below Down to the devils show To be his guest forever Peace of mind is less than never Hate to twist your mind But God ain't on your side An old acquaintance severed Burn the world your last endeavor Flesh is burning You can smell it in the air Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal So stand in line while they ink numbers in your head Your now a slave until the end of time here Nothing stops the madness turning, haunting, yearning pull the trigger You should have known The price of evil And it hurts to know that you belong here Yeah Oooooooh It's your fucking nightmare While your nightmare comes to life Can't wake up in sweat Cause it ain't over yet Still dancing with your demons Victim of your own creation Beyond the will to fight Where all that's wrong is right Where hate don't need a reason Loathing self-assassination You've been lied to Just to rape you of your sight And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel So sedated as they medicate your brain And while you slowly go insane they tell ya "Given with the best intentions, help you with your complications" You should have known The price of evil And it hurts to know that you belong here Yeah No one to call Everybody to fear Your tragic fate Is looking so clear Yeah Oooooooh It's your fucking nightmare (Break) (Maniacal laughter) Fight. not to fail Not to fall Or you'll end up like the others Die, die again Drenched in sin With no respect for another Down, feel the fire Feel the hate Your pain is what we desire Lost, hit the wall Watch you crawl Such a replaceable liar And I know your hear their voices Calling from above And I know they may seem real These signals of love But our life's made up of choices Some without appeal They took for granted your soul And it's ours now to steal As your nightmare comes to life You should have known The price of evil And it hurts to know that you belong here Yea No one to call Everybody to fear Your tragic fate Is looking so clear Yeah Oooooooh It's your fucking nightmare
