Drifting along inside of dreamland
Oh how it reaches the edges of the mind
Holding the smooth hand of Sandman
You never know just what you find
WAKE UP!
Screaming and covered in sweat
Falling into a void with no net
A man stalking you in the park
Things reach for you from the dark
Night terrors haunt this night just like all the others
Gasping now for a breath, your being feels smothered
WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!
From this nightmare
You fight and you fight
But nothing works, it’s not right
Ripping and pulling
Your arms from their sockets
WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!
From this nightmare
You’re lying in your tangled sheets
And you are foaming at the mouth
Mumbling there, screams in your sleep
There is no way to get out
Cannot breathe, like you’re tied down
No word escapes you, not even a sound
Screaming for help is all you want to do
Struggle your best, no one will come help you
Night terrors haunt this night just like all the others
Gasping now for a breath, your being feels smothered
WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!
From this nightmare
Oh how it reaches the edges of the mind
Holding the smooth hand of Sandman
You never know just what you find
WAKE UP!
Screaming and covered in sweat
Falling into a void with no net
A man stalking you in the park
Things reach for you from the dark
Night terrors haunt this night just like all the others
Gasping now for a breath, your being feels smothered
WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!
From this nightmare
You fight and you fight
But nothing works, it’s not right
Ripping and pulling
Your arms from their sockets
WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!
From this nightmare
You’re lying in your tangled sheets
And you are foaming at the mouth
Mumbling there, screams in your sleep
There is no way to get out
Cannot breathe, like you’re tied down
No word escapes you, not even a sound
Screaming for help is all you want to do
Struggle your best, no one will come help you
Night terrors haunt this night just like all the others
Gasping now for a breath, your being feels smothered
WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!
