Dream Theater, “Night Terror” Music Video + Lyrics
Spiders searching for shelter
Fading with the daybreak
Vanishing at dawn
As morning gentle shines onSacrificial martyr
Victim wearing white
Headed for the slaughter
Angels cry for her tonightTo the cross
At the stake
To the lions
On the rack I break
I breakNight terror
Hysteria
Nocturnal trial by fireplace
Eyes open huge however I can’t seeMind awake
Body at relaxation
Drifting via sleep transition
Borderland state
Swimming via waves
Sensory dream situationWithout warning
I fall down the bottomless nicely
Flesh is crawling
Need to claw my method out of this hellBy the sword
On the wheel
Twisting in the wind
Pierce the silence
With a scream
Why can’t I bear in mind something?
AnythingNight terror
Hysteria
Nocturnal trial by fireplace
Eyes open huge however I can’t seeI can’t see
