Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All my dark dreams drift like smoke in the breeze
The fear grips me as I fall towards my sleep
Here comes the nightmare that never ends
Here is the dream that makes monsters of men
[Verse 2]
In the house of my soul
In rooms of ugliness and cold
Memories locked away
All the doubts and fears I never faced
[Verse 3]
Now they come again
I am falling down to meet with them
Fears within us all
Mine awake and they stand up tall
[Verse 4]
Look for the truth
Deepest cut of all from you
Knife of the truth
Blade of hatred slicing through
[Verse 5]
I pray my sleep will break
Maybe this time, I won't wake
Weakness I hide so well
This dagger in my mind will tell
[Verse 6]
It's my final stand
I make a fist out of each hand
To shadows of the past
Take a breath and I scream attack
[Verse 7]
Look for the truth
Deepest cut of all from you
Knife of the truth
Blade of hatred slicing through
[Verse 8]
Here is the truth
Deepest cut of all from you
Knife of the truth
Blade of hatred slicing through
