The Nightmare Encroaches (Cover)

Verse 1 The horizon is bleeding a deep shade of red The day is dying, the sunlight is dead I watch from the tower as shadows extend Marking the hour where reality bends It starts with a whisper, a shift in the light A primal warning of the coming of night ​Pre-Chorus Now the silence is heavy, the birds cease their song I know in my bones that something is wrong Lock every window and bar every gate But deep down I know that it’s already too late ​Chorus I've always had a strange feeling when the night comes closer, Like the air turns to ice and the wind's getting colder. When the sun fades away, and the darkness approaches, There is nowhere to run as the nightmare encroaches. ​Verse 2 The moon is a traitor, a pale hollow eye Watching us shiver, watching us die The shadows detached from the trees where they stood Now hunting for souls in the heart of the wood My breath acts like smoke in the freezing chill Time is frozen, the whole world stands still ​Pre-Chorus Lock every window and bar every gate But deep down I know that it’s already too late ​Chorus I've always had a strange feeling when the night comes closer, Like the air turns to ice and the wind's getting colder. When the sun fades away, and the darkness approaches, There is nowhere to run as the nightmare encroaches. ​Bridge (Guitar Solo – Fast, melodic, and aggressive, Music drops to just drums and bass) They say it’s a legend, a story for fools But we are just pawns in their twisted rules The light is a memory, the void is the King Can you hear the chorus that the demons sing? YEAH! ​Chorus I've always had a strange feeling when the night comes closer, Like the air turns to ice and the wind's getting colder. When the sun fades away, and the darkness approaches, There is nowhere to run as the nightmare encroaches!
