I close my eyes at midnight To meet the cousin of death But the rite of every night begins: Hordes of monsters are dwelling in my dreams I pray to the earth for just one night of rest I tried with drugs, I tried with meds But these nightmares have me obsessed Nightmares lie in wait! I lay awake in my sleep! Fighting with my nightmares endlessly Nightmares lie in wait! This lack of rest is killing me! Since I wake up I nightmares endlessly I welcome the sandman because I need a solution And the only thing he tells me is to solve a fucking riddle The riddle is easy enough and so is the solution So stay with me a little more if you want to hear the conclusion Nightmares lie in wait! I lay awake in my sleep! Fighting with my nightmares endlessly Nightmares lie in wait! This lack of rest is killing me! Since I wake up I nightmares endlessly Terminal Violence! Terminal Violence! What brings eternal ease and it's the cure of every disease? What brings eternal ease and it's the cure of every disease? Is to Die! To Die! Sandman's death sets mind in peace!
