The Beginning Of The Nightmare

(album: Haunted House And Other Stories - 2014)

Dark night, full moon
Wolves howling ghostly tunes
Not a soul out tonight
Except two gods who fight
Over their jealousy
Disputing royalty
There's something rising up tonight
It's just so natural to desire
The power that your soul requires
But it's so unnatural what you are
A fallen star

Now a long, long time ago
I gave in to the darkness so
I could have all the power
Pitch black for every hour
And though she tried to stop me
I'll rise again, if slowly
For a thousand years, I will prepare
This is only the beginning of the nightmare

Worlds apart, still connected
One of them, still rejected
One thousand counting down
A fatal throne, a lethal crown
Evil will soon return, a nightmare never learns
There's something coming in the night
It's just so natural to desire
The power that your soul requires
But it's so unnatural what you are
A fallen star

Now a long, long time ago
I gave in to the darkness so
I could have all the power
Pitch black for every hour
And though she tried to stop me
I'll rise again, if slowly
For a thousand years, I will prepare
This is only the beginning of the nightmare

Now I've come to take a life or two
But this is really about you
It's my revenge, it's my design
Now you can send your strongest
But I've been brooding longest
And my vengeance is divine

Now a long, long time ago
I gave in to the darkness so
I could have all the power
Pitch black for every hour
And though she tried to stop me
I'll rise again, if slowly
For a thousand years, I will prepare
This is only the beginning of the nightmare

Now a long, long time ago
I gave in to the darkness so
I could have all the power
Pitch black for every hour
And though she tried to stop me
I'll rise again, if slowly
For a thousand years, I will prepare
This is only the beginning of the nightmare
