Nightmare Land
A lullaby hums in a voice not your own
Sung from the mouths of the buried and dead
A faceless thing grins in the wide doorway
Stretching its arms, your escort inside
Your name is etched on a tomb with no grave
A jagged whisperer, an icy brace
Your heart beats loud, but not for long
Run, run, but your feet won't move
The darkness wraps its chains around you
I said grin forms in the blackest shade
Time runs out, and so will your veins
The bells don't toll; the clocks don't chime
Only the sound of the end of time
Your Shadow melts your hands turn cold
The nightmare sings as it takes hold
I'm sorry to say, but this is the end
Your breath is stolen; no need to pretend
A door creaks open; the void
