A blood-red moon is shining And outside in the still The creatures of the night arise Get ready for the kill The voices in the darkness sirens in the air A crying that no soul can hear The screams of your despair Living on a nightmare Living on a nightmare It's all carried on when we have gone Oh, oh, oh, oh, living on a nightmare (Nightmare, nightmare) ♪ (Nightmare, nightmare) Gruesome steps behind you Electrify the nerves You're paralyzed, the end is near You get what you deserve Your home will be the graveyard You grip my lifeless hand The end in sight, for Hell is here Won't see the merry end Nightmare, nightmare I saw you take another soul Nightmare before the dawn Living on a nightmare Living on a nightmare It's all carried on when we have gone Oh, oh, oh, oh, living on a nightmare ♪ Living on a nightmare, heavy metal nightmare The soul mate will burn when you return Oh, oh, oh, oh, living on a nightmare (Nightmare, nightmare)
