Wakeup to a Nightmare
Written like a blister on your soul
As the words seeped in and swallowed you whole
Paralysed with shock, you made love to a foe
Without a breath of doubt, you let the love grow
but you weren't aware, you didn't know
The impending destruction of your world, the breach of your soul
Am I the Serpent in the dark? Am I the reason for your woe?
Don't dare and don't turn back when I let you go
Maybe not unharmed but the brutal pains of my torturous hands you did not undergo
Don't utter a word for this, my love, is a blessing on you that I have bestowed
But beware, little dove, for wherever you go, you won't escape my shadow
I am indeed Death in disguise so beautiful, it sets the world aglow
And you mean little to me now that you're overthrown
Stuck in a little cage, I may look like a nightingale or even a sparrow
But if you look a little closer you'll see a vulture in disguise or a crow
Ugly as the truths are, I've reserved for you a seat in the front row
Don't you know? You're the special guest to my show
Oh fix a smile on your face now, hoe
It is after all, an impressive blow to your ego
As the words seeped in and swallowed you whole
Paralysed with shock, you made love to a foe
Without a breath of doubt, you let the love grow
but you weren't aware, you didn't know
The impending destruction of your world, the breach of your soul
Am I the Serpent in the dark? Am I the reason for your woe?
Don't dare and don't turn back when I let you go
Maybe not unharmed but the brutal pains of my torturous hands you did not undergo
Don't utter a word for this, my love, is a blessing on you that I have bestowed
But beware, little dove, for wherever you go, you won't escape my shadow
I am indeed Death in disguise so beautiful, it sets the world aglow
And you mean little to me now that you're overthrown
Stuck in a little cage, I may look like a nightingale or even a sparrow
But if you look a little closer you'll see a vulture in disguise or a crow
Ugly as the truths are, I've reserved for you a seat in the front row
Don't you know? You're the special guest to my show
Oh fix a smile on your face now, hoe
It is after all, an impressive blow to your ego
