Paralyzed I cannot not scream nor can I feel, once they call my name
nothing but the push of terror holding me down till I suffocate
who is he who stare at me, with an ice-cold gaze, stare at me without a face
this nocturnal visitor manifested from my mind
I haven’t seen them for a while
behind this familiar man is a child
though eyeless as he’ll always be
a sadness he still shares with me
Raised above this conscience of mine he stands towering over me
Stands tall with his mighty pride a great display of fearsome authority
His hand gently rest
Ice-cold upon my lips
I can’t fucking flee
I know I won’t be set free
I haven’t seen them for a while
behind this familiar man is a child
though eyeless as he’ll always be
a sadness he still shares with me
Nocturnal – might
Feasts on – my mind
Nightmare – collide
Hellspawn – arise
All this is, all the darkness that resides in me
All I feel, is the shame of what I’ll never be
All they say, is that I was never meant to be
Powerful and in control of what will come my way
I haven’t seen them for a while
behind this familiar man is a child
though eyeless as he’ll always be
a sadness he still shares with me
