Lyrics

Be wary of the night. Be careful where you lay
The dark things I've planned for you -
you'll never get away
Fingertips are bleeding and screams chill the spine
When you open up your eyes
don't be surprised by what you find

Nightmares. They take me away. It never changes
I pray for the day

All the world's burning, shattered glass all around
Your clothes are by the river but your body can't be found
You brain is hot with fire, vision red to black
Sleep takes you down a deadly trip
and you're never coming back

Nightmares. They take me away. It never changes
I pray for the day

Die, Die, Die - young and naive and you'll die
Die, Die - you try to deceive me you'll die
Die, Die - young and naive and you'll die
Die, Die - you try to deceive me you'll die

Be wary of the night. Be careful where you lay
The dark things I've planned for you -
you'll never get away
Fingertips are bleeding and screams chill the spine
When you open up your eyes
don't be surprised by what you find

Nightmares. They take me away. It never changes
I pray for the day

Die, Die, Die - young and naive and you'll die
Die, Die - you try to deceive me you'll die
Die, Die - young and naive and you'll die
Die, Die - you try to deceive me you're young and naive and you'll die
