Nightmare Taking Over

[Verse 1] (subdued, low murmur) Say the words and close your eyes Keep the shadows in disguise Underneath the heavy sheet Something pacing on the street Heavy breathing in the hall Cracks are forming on the wall [Pre-Chorus] (rising tension, gritty) Don't you look behind the door Hear the creaking on the floor Lock it tight, lose the light Lock it tight, lose the light [Chorus] (screaming, explosive distortion) Sleep now, fall into the black! Never turning back! Take your soul into the night! Crawl away from morning light! Nightmare taking over! Nightmare taking over! Yeah! Hey! [Verse 2] (clean bass groove, eerie calm) Static humming on the screen Visions that you've never seen Claws of dusk upon your bed Count the voices in your head Breath is cold against the glass Wait until the terror passes [Pre-Chorus] (building aggression) Don't you look behind the door Hear the creaking on the floor Lock it tight, lose the light Lock it tight, lose the light [Chorus] (screaming, heavy wall of sound) Sleep now, fall into the black! Never turning back! Take your soul into the night! Crawl away from morning light! Nightmare taking over! Nightmare taking over! Yeah! [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] (whispered, rhythmic repetition) Hush now... Hush now... Pray the dark won't bite. Pray you see the morning light. (crescendo scream) Pray you see the light! [Chorus] (maximum energy, chaotic rasp) Sleep now, fall into the black! Never turning back! Take your soul into the night! Crawl away from morning light! Nightmare taking over! Nightmare taking over! [Outro] (raw screams, fading into guitar feedback) Take it all! Take it all! Never wake up! Never wake up! (heavy distortion fades out)
