Into the Nightmare

The Seekers drift into a collective dream Where they have to explore A dark tunnel inside a rock That splits into different path for each of them One sees a vision of home long forgotten Another one hears his dead parents calling him The girl dreams of fame the world over And all of them follow their reveries, oh the enchanted and doomed ones Every beat of your heart takes you further from your past Can you ever escape it? Sprinting away from it, betraying it Will never excuse mistakes, your nightmares will never stop and There's no choice but to fight them All their dreams turned to nightmares, the one Who saw his home is now endlessly falling off the roof The one who had heard his parents' voices is being pulled Into their grave, and the girl — she gets the worst of all Alone in the dark she faces her greatest fear All of their deepest fears now confront them All the wrongs they've ever done rise out of the oblivion Face to face with their own worst enemies — themselves They have to fight to be reborn — or die, oh the desperate ones It was hard, those minutes felt like the end of the world Bloodless faces, exhausted bodies, no one will be left to survive But the fight ends abruptly, and they see The way out — into a strange room filled with a transcendent light Only the girl couldn't make it out of the dark and in her dream A vile, wicked old man snatched her by the hand The foulest fiend from her childhood nightmares, he took her Away from her friends and her lover He sees his true love being dragged into nothingness Without a second thought he gives chase to the two shadows Into a kaleidoscope of psychotic visions he follows them Until he finds himself in a strangely familiar dimension Every beat of your heart takes you further from your past Can you ever escape it? Sprinting away from it, betraying it Will never excuse mistakes, your nightmares will never stop and There's no choice but to fight them He finds himself in a crowded city center And he sees her walking in a crowd And she turns away like a stranger when he reaches out to her And he stays there forever, a stranger needed by no one
