The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 decieve me you'll die
Die, Die - young and naive and you'll die
Die, Die - you try to decieve 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....
Die, Die, Die - young and naive and you'll die
Die, Die - you try to decieve me you'll die
Die, Die - young and naive and you'll die
Die, Die - you try to decieve me you're young and naive and you'll die
