Night's cold breath around me creeps
Phantom dread in dark that seeps
My limbs ensnared in midnight chains
No dawn to soothe these mortal pains
Dost thou hear the echo of my cry?
Bound in a dream wherein I die
Yet death reveals no waking day
In this nightmare I forever stay
Spectral voices gnaw at my mind
Their laughter cruel their claws unkind
Each heartbeat lost to ghastly gloom
No end in death only deeper doom
Dost thou hear the echo of my cry?
Bound in a dream wherein I die
Yet death reveals no waking day
In this nightmare I forever stay
Thus with sealed eyes I greet the night
My soul enchained bereft of light
