From the recording "Overture to Madness"
Lyrics
As I lie in silent night prey me safe in holy light
Fingers brush back my hair it seems
As sharpest teeth invade my dreams
Welcome to the illusion
Where shadow chases sin
Where sighs turn to desperate cries
(and I ask)
Is this dream or nightmare
A flash of movement I cannot see
turning quick I feel the breeze
Brick made hallway leading on
Begin to run I feel the draw
Welcome to the illusion
Where shadow chases sin
Where sighs turn to desperate cries
(and I ask)
Is this dream or nightmare
Darkest hallway beckons forth
Stretching to infinity on
Rapacious hands reaching toward me
Cannot wake and cannot breathe
Welcome to the illusion
Where shadow chases sin
Where sighs turn to desperate cries
(Is this dream)
Is this dream or nightmare
